Where will the chemists and the physicists be located in the future? A recent report shows that it will be much more expensive to move to Science Village than if they stay on Sölvegatan. The evaluation report compares three options: Chemistry and physics establish activities in Science Village and move thereKemicentrum is renovated and expanded, and the physicists move in there to be with the chem

Många länder i Afrika påverkas fortfarande av strukturer som de gamla kolonimakterna la grunden till. Eller? I ett nytt projekt ska forskaren Erik Green från Ekonomihögskolan syna gamla sanningar i sömmarna. Han leder ett internationellt forskarteam som nu för första gången ska systematisera stora mängder historiska data från Ostindiska kompaniets kolonisering av Sydafrika. Under 1500- till 1700-t

Det saknas inte initiativ för att bryta det växande sociala utanförskapet i Sverige. Mer oklart är vad som fungerar. Forskningen hittills visar att “eldsjälar” är en nyckel till framgång. Men är det rimligt att lägga allt ansvar på dem? Sverige, liksom resten av världen, brottas med flera stora samhällsutmaningar. Ojämlikheten och inkomstklyftorna ökar och antalet resurssvaga bostadsområden har bl
