Theme 2023-2024 Rising sea levels due to climate change increase the risk of flooding and erosion in coastal areas. Historically, coastal protection measures in Sweden have been limited, but we now need to step up.

Theme 2023-2024 All spaces and actions have an acoustic element to them. At the same time, questions of democracy in relation to everyday life — inclusion in, access to, equality of — play out across society. Sound has, in this context, a particularly disobedient quality — it does not obey visual, legal or ownership borders, and will be used as an element that crosses boundaries. Through the use o

ASG 2024 People increasingly build identities and express their values through consumer choices. We seem willing to pay more, much more, for a product of a certain design.

ASG 2024 The term integration is often used when individuals who, in one way or another, are to be part of a community and contribute to societal unity. "European integration" also emphasizes a sort of unity, based on a common understanding of values, political cooperation, free movement, and so on. "European integration" is, therefore, a social construction. However, it significantly influences n
THEME 2024-2025 Climate change and related extreme weather events continue to increase in frequency and intensity. Given our current greenhouse gas emissions trajectory, it is now likely that we will overshoot the 1.5 oC target in the near term meaning that even successful adaptation actions may still not be enough to prevent loss and damage to both human and natural systems. The negative effects

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 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
