The international network Universitas21 (U21) has launched a new concept in which they offer students a chance to take part in Sustainable Micro-internships. The concept involves short internships in which the students spend a two-week digital placement with students from 27 universities in 18 different countries. The students are placed in groups to cooperate on solving a challenge linked to one

Not all air pollution are created by humans. As the global average temperature rises, harmful emissions from plants increase and more desert dust is dispersed in the atmosphere. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg ande MERGE-members, among others, warn that this leads to increased health risks. Climate change does not only mean that the global average temperature is rising by several deg

“If we succeed, this could be a method that helps find materials to build quantum computers that can withstand higher temperatures, with the possibility of fast operations,” says Mathieu Gisselbrecht. This is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that can best be described as an ensemble of particles for which the quantum state of each individual particle cannot be described independently of the state o

Did you miss Almedalen this year? You are invited to watch the recording of the panel discussion on the topic of crisis preparedness. We are facing major challenges related to climate change, geopolitical uncertainty, and technological change. Addressing these challenges will require significant societal and economic transformation, and our ability to adapt will be crucial in determining how resil

Rheumatologist Robin Kahn’s focus in research is children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Together with his research team, he is trying to find the answers to two questions: why certain children get this condition – and how can it be cured. “These two questions actually triggered me, and an entire team, to start doing research.” Robin Kahn is a senior consultant in paediatric rheumatology at S

Lisa Påhlman, a specialist in infectious diseases, has a main research focus on airway infections in cystic fibrosis – a genetic disease that affects many organs of the body, perhaps most importantly the lungs. “If we knew more about the bacteria and fungi that these patients are colonised with, we could hopefully have a more tailored or antibiotic treatment for them.” Lisa Påhlman is a specialist

The focus of paediatric oncologist Kees-Jan Pronk’s research is to find out what happens with the blood system in children that develop leukaemia. The other focus of his research is to reduce side effects of leukaemia treatments. “We are trying to find ways to reduce the side effects, but still keeping the treatment as effective as it is.” Kees-Jan Pronk is a senior consultant in paediatric oncolo
