Dan Petersen is of the view that research progress in mathematics is very much down to luck. But it is easier to be lucky by cultivating collaboration with other mathematicians across the world. Thanks to his Wallenberg Scholar grant, this will now be easier.
Work is more than just a paycheck—it’s about safety, opportunity, and fairness. In a recently published doctoral thesis, IIES graduate student, Dominik Biesalski, explores these themes, shedding light on workplace safety in Uganda, the career decisions of young adults, and the colonial roots of homophobia in Sub-Saharan Africa. His findings reveal how economic structures and historical legacies continue to shape people's lives in profound ways. Safer Work, Higher Earnings: The Impact of Workplace Safety
People and governments are recognising that the world faces a biodiversity crisis. Nature is struggling in the face of new diseases, climate change and other human pressures. However, animals, plants and fungi have a powerful tool to adapt these pressures: the variation within their genes.
Researchers at Stockholm University have developed a fully biobased hair conditioner using lignin gel emulsions, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional haircare products.
More than 30 companies and organizations exhibited in Aula Magna, at this year's Career Fair for science students. Among the exhibitors were many alumni from Stockholm University, who were looking forward to sharing their experiences with the students.
Take on the challenge! The upcoming CIVIS Days Hackathon invites students to explore the theme "Overtourism: European Problem - Local Perspectives. A Comparative Problem-Solving Hackathon about Inclusivity." This event, organized by the CIVIS Global Student Council, brings together students from across the CIVIS Alliance to develop innovative solutions addressing the challenges of overtourism from an inclusivity perspective.
Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University, has signed a Letter of Intent with University College London (UCL). The new agreement aims to expand research collaboration between the universities, initially focusing on sustainability, the climate crisis, and mental health.
Answer seven questions and get an indication of how your relationship is right now. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, researchers at Stockholm University published a new study in the journal Cognitive Behaviour Therapy that introduces a scientifically validated scale, the ‘Valentine's Scale’. The scale measures how satisfied you are in your love relationship.

Xiaodong Zou has long dreamed of being able to take pictures of the tiniest constituents of nature, such as aromatic substances – scents and odors. She is now developing analytical methods that image small molecules in three dimensions and in greater detail than ever before. This opens the way for better drugs and new fundamental discoveries in chemistry.
It has emerged in Turkish and Swedish media that a person has applied for an internship. In connection with the refusal of the request connections were made to Sweden`s Nato application. Our university should treat everyone equally and respectfully and do not accept discrimination on any ground. The university receives a great deal of inquiries from students interested in visiting us as interns. Unfortunately, we are unable to receive everyone, but expect that any request is responded to in a professional manner. In this case, an employee expressed himself in an unprofessional and unacceptable manner and as soon as we learnt about this issue we acted and handled it according to our routines. The employee in question is deeply regretful and realizes that he handled this issue incorrectly. The university has also urgently apologized to the person and has already in December last year offered help in trying to find another internship at our university.
