New analysis reveals significant gaps in evidence related to the sustainability claims of new food technologies such as vertical farming, blockchain, food deliveries and plant-based alternatives to animal products.
In Times Higher Education’s subject ranking for 2023, eight subjects at Stockholm University are ranked in the top 250 in the world.
Marine archaeologists from Vrak - Museum of Wreck have found the wreck of the naval vessel Äpplet, Vasa's sister ship. The ship was first launched in 1629 and was built by the same master shipbuilder who completed the Vasa. The discovery was made within the research programme "The Forgotten Fleet", which is led by Stockholm University.
A recent study, published in Current Biology, led by researchers at Stockholm University and Uppsala University, has shown that juvenile songbirds react to hearing the songs they will eventually produce as adults, even when they are as young as 12 days old. Experiments conducted on nestling pied flycatchers across Europe demonstrate that they preferentially respond to songs from their own species and, remarkably, their own population.
Marine protected areas (MPAs) can significantly contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, according to a major new analysis published in the journal One Earth. They can enhance carbon sequestration, coastal protection, biodiversity, the reproductive capacity of marine organisms, as well as fishers’ catch and income.

On October 9 international students participated and got to know new acquaintances and the City of Stockholm.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning are becoming increasingly important to map the proteins in our cells and how they interact with each other. In a new project, the researchers will develop tools to increase understanding of how cells work.
Researchers at Stockholm University are awarded four Wallenberg grants totaling SEK 115 million. The grants go to research on ancient DNA, proteins, dark matter and the role of forests in climate change. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has decided on this year's project grants. 23 researchers are awarded a total of SEK 700 million. Four researchers at Stockholm University are awarded grants totaling SEK 115 million over five years. These four researchers at Stockholm University are awarded grants: Claudia Mohr, Department of Environmental Science
Professor Beatriz Magaloni, Stanford University, is awarded the Stockholm Prize in Criminology 2023. Her research provides important evidence that police organizations are vulnerable to populist demands for harsh police methods that violate the rule of law and which, in the long run, increase violence in society.
Plants are known to not only remove CO2 from the atmosphere but to also emit thousands of compounds, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), whose role in climate change has largely been “overlooked.” Now, researchers from Stockholm University will launch a new research project into the role of VOC emissions in climate change.
With the help om advanced DNA technology, researchers will map the human encounter with the wild fauna in Eurasia. What happened when they interacted and how have they affected each other?
