THEME 2024-2025 Today’s principles for taxation requires that value creation (income) can be measured and tied to a geographical location and taxed there. Digitalisation and technology-driven globalisation challenge these principles as it becomes harder to both determine and measure value creation and tie that to a specific location. For example, what is the value of using Facebook or Google in Sw

ASG 2024-2025 This Advanced Study Group centres around the two keywords “Oaths” and “Courts”, and particularly the interaction between them. The independence and impartiality of judges, and the ambition to find the truth through judicial proceedings, have been defined by different types of oaths from Antiquity and onwards. The researchers will analyse the history of oaths and of independence and i

ASG 2024-2025 How the earliest forms of life arose on Earth is one of the great unanswered scientific questions. The fundamental question is in what ways and under what circumstances a collection of inanimate matter can be transformed into something that can be considered alive. One hypothesis is that the transition from lifeless to living matter is not a unique event, but in fact occurs spontaneo

ASG 2024-2025 A significant number of healthcare facilities are rapidly reaching the end of their lifespan. Consequently, there is a wave of ongoing and planned processes for future hospital construction, locally, nationally and globally. But do these processes really consider all necessary aspects of health and wellbeing? Traditionally, the assessment of healthcare facilities has focused on proce
