With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year, as a result of a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

Within third-cycle education, as in the University as a whole, we are all different and as such we need to work according to the different subject conditions of the faculties. At the same time, we are more alike than we sometimes believe and there are advantages to having the same procedures and rules where possible, particularly when we see more interdisciplinary projects crossing departmental an

Det är nu några år sedan de första teoretiska artiklarna kom om ”programmatic assessment”. Bakomliggande resonemang är att de studenter som kommer till våra utbildningar sannolikt har förmågan att klara utbildningen och vi borde lägga mer tid på att se till att varje individ utmanas på den nivå man är, för att ständigt säkra utveckling.
