In this seminar, Johnny Berglund from Pelagia, highlights ongoing investigations for offshore wind power in the Gulf of Bothnia and for aquaculture in Norway. Johnny holds a PhD in marine biology from Umeå Marine Science Centre and has worked almost 20 years at the County Administrative Board in Västerbotten and for the Swedish Marine and Water Management Agency on issues within marine conservation, marine planning and monitoring. Since 2024 he works at Pelagia Nature & Environment AB as a marine project manager.��å Marine Sciences Centre, Norrbyn Seminar/en/events/assessing-environmental-impacts-of-offshore-wind-and-aquaculture_12142921/2025-10-27T14:00:00+01:002025-10-27T15:30:00+01:00/en/events/norm-criticism-and-design-as-a-practice-of-hope_12144451/Norm Criticism and Design as a Practice of HopeNorm Criticism and Design as a Practice of Hope - Feminist Strategies in an Era of Posthuman Convergence Tue, 28 Oct 2025 13:00:00 +0100<img src="/link/40b4675d3667440daade97305e6ff7fe.aspx" alt="image6jix8.png" loading="lazy" />Norm Criticism and Design as a Practice of Hope - Feminist Strategies in an Era of Posthuman ConvergenceWelcome to a seminar where we explore how norm critique and design can function as feminist strategies to shape hope in an era marked by ecological and social crises, technological acceleration and social fragmentation.Drawing on Rosi Braidotti's concept posthuman convergence and Ewa Giraud's ethics of exclusion, we discuss how norm critique and design research can contribute to new conceptions of the relationship between humans, technology and the environment beyond anthropocentric grounds. We also exlpore how hope can be understood not as an emotion, but as a critical strategy: a situated, political and collective tool for imagining and shaping alternative futures.The seminar is aimed at researchers, practitioners and students in design, gender studies, sustainability and critical theory – and to anyone interested in how we can think and create beyond the given.Anna Croon is a senior lecturer (docent) in Informatics, Umeå University. Among her research interests are transdisciplinary studies of digital transformation, Feminist Technoscience, Human-Computer Interaction, Design Theory, Norm Critical Design and Critical Theories of Technology.<div class="epi-contentfragment">Anmälan och zoomlänk 28 oct 2025</div><div class="epi-contentfragment">2023 Contact Lotta</div>ZoomSeminar/en/events/norm-criticism-and-design-as-a-practice-of-hope_12144451/2025-10-28T13:00:00+01:002025-10-28T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/study-in-sweden-how-to-apply-a-to-z_12145051/Study in Sweden: How to Apply A to ZWant to apply to study in Sweden, but not sure where to start?Tue, 28 Oct 2025 15:00:00 +0100OBS: Umeå University is not participating in this webinar.

But how do these explanations work? What are their main explananda, and what is their characteristic mode of explanation? In the first part of my talk, I will sketch what I take to be the most promising answers to these questions. In the second part, I then show how an adequate conception of representational explanations can help to refute the well-known “epiphenomenalism objection” against standard naturalistic theories of representation.All interested are welcome to this meeting.<h2>About the seminar series</h2><a href="/link/c39c3aa808c341fbb6e20b226145c3cc.aspx">Learn more about the seminar series in Philosophy and upcoming events</a>HUM.H.119Seminar/en/events/peter-schulte_12137058/2025-10-29T13:15:00+01:002025-10-29T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/study--work-in-sweden-fair---berlin_12134632/Study & Work In Sweden Fair - BerlinCurious about studying or working in Sweden but not sure where to start?

According to most psychiatrists, depression is a (low) mood dysfunction. In contrast, several evolutionary theorists have argued that this category actually lumps together two phenomena: functional but severe low mood, and dysfunctional low mood. The overall aim of this presentation is to help settle this debate. To reach this aim, I do three things. Firstly, I propose a novel way to adjudicate the debate: by drawing upon recent philosophical work on dysfunction, I put forward an epistemic framework by which to diagnose whether depression (or any psychological condition) is (dys)functional. Secondly, on the basis of this framework I show that evolutionary theorists are right, and psychiatrists are wrong: depression is not a natural kind, but rather lumps together both functional, as well as dysfunctional, instances of low mood. Finally, I consider whether this should affect how we classify and diagnose depression, and what this means for treatment of both functional and dysfunctional low mood.All interested are welcome to this meeting.<h2>About the seminar series</h2><a href="/link/c39c3aa808c341fbb6e20b226145c3cc.aspx">Learn more about the seminar series in Philosophy and upcoming events</a>HUM.H.119Seminar/en/events/james-turner_12137059/2025-11-05T13:15:00+01:002025-11-05T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/understanding-the-swedish-labour-market_12136473/Understanding the Swedish labour marketDo you consider pursuing a career in Sweden and wish to gain insights on the Swedish labour market?

Advances in generative AI and large language models raise fundamental questions about the nature of AI, its societal impact, and the responsibilities of those who design and deploy it. But AI is not an autonomous force; it is the result of human choices, values, and priorities.This talk argues that responsibility in AI is not a constraint but the foundation of meaningful innovation. Grounded in trust, cooperation, and the common good, a responsible approach helps us move beyond technological determinism toward real societal benefit. Regulation, governance, and ethical design are not barriers but enablers, creating the conditions for sustainable progress, public trust, and genuine differentiation. Acknowledging trade-offs and context in decision-making, I will contend that Responsible AI is not optional; it is the only viable path for AI to support human flourishing.Speaker:<h3>Virginia Dignum</h3>Department of Computing Science, Umeå UniversityBio:Virginia Dignum is Professor of Responsible Artificial Intelligence at Umeå University, Sweden, where she leads the AI Policy Lab.

It invites the sharing of both practical experiences and scientific perspectives.Do you want to contribute to the conversation about The Art of Teaching? We welcome educational contributions of all kinds.

In a time when higher education is increasingly shaped by demands for digitalization, standardization, and measurable outcomes, there are good reasons to pause and reflect on other dimensions of teaching—those that cannot always be quantified but nonetheless shape the very core of educational quality.At this year’s university pedagogical conference, we aim to create a meeting place for exploring and re-establishing teaching as an art. What happens to the role of the teacher when teaching is reduced too much to mere necessary interactions, technical solutions, and efficiency demands? How can teachers make use of the enthusiastic, relational, and responsive aspects of teaching and thereby create truly meaningful and caring learning opportunities for our students?For this year’s conference, we especially welcome contributions that highlight one or more of the perspectives described above. At the same time, we want to emphasize that contributions addressing teaching and learning from other angles are equally welcome. The core idea of the conference is to gather contributions that, in different ways, enrich the conversation about teaching and learning in higher education.Humanities building, Umea universityConference/en/events/the-university-pedagogy-conference-2025_12106683/2025-11-06T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/ing-marie-back-danielsson_12145552/Research seminar in archaeology: Dr. Ing-Marie Back DanielssonThe Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental Archaeology invites you to a seminar with Dr. Ing-Marie Back Danielsson.Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0100The Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental archaeology invites you to a seminar with Dr. Ing-Marie Back Danielsson, "Evocative Imagery at Whose Expense? Critical Perspectives on Viking Age Mortuary Reconstructions". Abstract: In this presentation I will discuss Viking Age mortuary reconstructions, a genre of archaeological imagery that has gained significant prominence in the last few decades, in both scholarly and popular domains. Drawing upon a number or mortuary reconstructions from the Scandinavian Viking Age, produced since 2000, the study interrogates the emotive, affective, and ethical dimensions of these visualisations. Employing a visual social semiotic framework, it analyses vantage points, colour schemes, bodily representations, and gender codings to demonstrate how artistic decisions intersect with archaeological interpretation. The findings reveal a tendency towards dramatization, sexualisation, and/or sensationalism, particularly in depictions of women, alongside anthropocentric distinctions in portrayals of humans and animals. While claiming naturalistic realism, these images frequently obscure evidential uncertainties, thereby consolidating extreme and exceptional cases as normative representations of Viking Age mortuary practices. Arguments are presented for increased transparency, ethical reflexivity, and peer review in the production of mortuary reconstructions, contending that such images constitute ethically consequential acts that shape post-mortem dignity and contemporary engagements with the Viking past.<h3>About the seminar series</h3>The Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental Archaeology presents and discusses current research in archaeology and environmental archaeology. <a title="The research seminar series in archaeology" href="/link/e38d28f9751a4256b488b852295b3b27.aspx">See more upcoming seminars in the series</a>HUM.J.118Seminar/en/events/ing-marie-back-danielsson_12145552/2025-11-06T13:00:00+01:002025-11-06T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/medchem-seminar-series----annalisa-pastore_12140924/Medchem Seminar Series - Annalisa PastoreTitle: "From aptamer in silico design to disease mechanism: the example of TDP-43"Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:15:00 +0100Speaker:<h3>Annalisa Pastore</h3>King’s College London, UKTitle:<h3>From aptamer in silico design to disease mechanism: the example of TDP-43 </h3>Host: Nicolò Maccaferri (UCMR) KB.E3.01 (Lilla hörsalen), KBCSeminar/en/events/medchem-seminar-series----annalisa-pastore_12140924/2025-11-06T15:15:00+01:002025-11-06T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/sofia-svahn--clinical-pharmacology_12142831/Sofia Svahn – Clinical PharmacologyCARDIOVASCULAR DRUG TREATMENT AND AN INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE DRUG TREATMENT AMONG OLDER PEOPLEFri, 07 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Sofia Svahn, Departmen of Medical and Translational Biology, defends her doctoral thesis CARDIOVASCULAR DRUG TREATMENT AND AN INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE DRUG TREATMENT AMONG OLDER PEOPLE. Principal supervisor Maria Gustafsson. Aula AnatomicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/sofia-svahn--clinical-pharmacology_12142831/2025-11-07T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/upsc-seminar-with-abdul-kareem-valiya-kadavu_12145631/UPSC Seminar with Abdul Kareem Valiya KadavuScientific seminar arranged by ��å Plant Science CentreFri, 07 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100UPSC SeminarSpeaker: Abdul Kareem Valiya KadavuDepartment of Plant Biology, Linnean Center for Plant Biology, SLU, Uppsala, SwedenTitle: How plants regenerate: Molecular mechanisms, fate decisions, and lessons for plant development Contact: Ove Nilsson"Stora hörsalen" (Big lecture hall), KB.E3.03, KBC buildingSeminar/en/events/upsc-seminar-with-abdul-kareem-valiya-kadavu_12145631/2025-11-07T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T10:00:00+01:00/en/events/new-perspectives-on-sustainable-health_12146638/New Perspectives on Sustainable HealthWelcome to join a webinar in the SHIP Dialogue Series: “New Perspectives on Sustainable Health.” Fri, 07 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0100Join us for a dialogue on how One Health can help tackle complex global challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future.Did you know that disruption of natural ecosystems has been linked to most emerging infectious diseases in humans?

Sörlin will present his book SNÖ (Snow) – A History. Recently published in English. The book is both a love letter to snow and a story of loss, portraying snow as a natural phenomenon, a cultural symbol, and an expression of the transformations brought about by climate change. Through historical, scientific, and personal perspectives, Sörlin explores the role of snow in human societies – from indigenous winter landscapes to snow’s place in climate science and global politics.The seminar offers an opportunity to reflect on snow’s changing presence in our time, and how this relates to broader questions of sustainability, environmental ethics, and societal transformation.Register before 13 November: <a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-aZLWjH1Mk-UZzmPGead5PcwOkiRaotJie_pBpA7hiFUQzlXMlJNWUM3Mjc4NFVTRkpLVVpWT0lLMy4u">Registration form</a>HUM.D.220 - HjortronlandetSeminar/en/events/snow-climate-and-culture-in-a-time-of-change_12147292/2025-11-17T13:00:00+01:002025-11-17T14:30:00+01:00/en/events/sustainability-reporting-and-financial-analysis_12144227/Webinar: Master’s Programme in Sustainability Reporting and Financial AnalysisWebinar on sustainability reporting and financial analysis, study in ��å and Vaasa - earn a double degree!Mon, 17 Nov 2025 16:00:00 +0100<a href="https://crm.hanken.fi/Events/2006/Apply">Register here for the Webinar</a>In a world facing increasingly complex global challenges, the demand for professionals with expertise in financial and ESG reporting is growing rapidly. <a href="/en/education/programmes/masters-programme-in-sustainability-reporting-and-financial-analysis">This one-year master’s programme</a> is designed to meet that demand, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable finance.At the heart of the programme is the EU Sustainable Finance Framework, which continues to raise the bar for corporations and audit firms. As regulatory requirements intensify, so does the need for finance and auditing professionals who understand both the theory and the practice of sustainability reporting.This is a one-year master’s programme, offered jointly by Umeå School of Business Economics and Statistics with Hanken School of Economics. Students begin their studies on-site in Umeå during the first term, and continue in Vaasa during the second term, earning a double degree upon graduation.The programme is taught entirely in English and combines science-based decision-making with real-world casework. Students will engage in experiential learning projects, tackling actual financial and non-financial reporting challenges faced by organizations today. This unique approach ensures that graduates leave with both a strong academic foundation and practical, job-ready skills.OnlineSeminar/en/events/sustainability-reporting-and-financial-analysis_12144227/2025-11-17T16:00:00+01:002025-11-17T17:00:00+01:00/en/events/humlab-makerspace-your-first-hobby-project-with-microcontrollers_12122458/Humlab Makerspace: Your first hobby project with microcontrollersWould you like to try electronics and microcontrollers as an interesting hobby?Tue, 18 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0100Would you like to try electronics and microcontrollers as an interesting hobby?<a href="/link/b92b8fe9048e45e998fb335d72136a25.aspx?epslanguage=sv">Read more and register</a> through the Swedish event page.Humlab MakerspaceWorkshop/en/events/humlab-makerspace-your-first-hobby-project-with-microcontrollers_12122458/2025-11-18T13:00:00+01:002025-11-20T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/study-at-umea-university-webinar_12135294/Study at ��å University webinarAre you curious about studying in Sweden?

While fan studies scholars have emphasized the participatory and community-driven nature of fanfiction from the beginning, this dimension has yet to be fully integrated into computational literary studies. In the talk, I propose network analysis to prestructure fanfiction data from the platform Fanfiktion.de. This enables to focus further explorations on platform-based interpretive communities, allowing to trace literary meaning-making from within. In addition, I will discuss fan-oriented strategies of data collection that respect the participatory ethos of the field.Humllab / ZoomLecture/en/events/humlab-talk-anastasia-glawion_12143398/2025-11-19T13:15:00+01:002025-11-19T14:45:00+01:00/en/events/eva-rodriguez-marquez--cell-biology_12142833/Eva Rodríguez Márquez – Cell BiologyTumour progression and photodynamic therapy in a zebrafish model of rhabdomyosarcoma.Thu, 20 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Eva Rodríguez Márquez, Department of Medical and Translational Biology, defends her doctoral thesis Tumour progression and photodynamic therapy in a zebrafish model of rhabdomyosarcoma. Principal supervisor Jonas von Hofsten.Aula BiologicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/eva-rodriguez-marquez--cell-biology_12142833/2025-11-20T09:00:00+01:002025-11-20T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/taiga-days-ai-power--the-good-of-all_12127114/TAIGA Days: AI, Power & the Good of AllA two-day symposium on how AI can empower organizations, shape the region, and foster transdisciplinary AI research for the good of all. Thu, 20 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100<h2>Invitation for the TAIGA days on November 20 and 21, 2025</h2>The TAIGA days this year will not be focused on presenting interesting AI developments of the past year, but rather focus on shaping the four new overall themes of TAIGA for the next years. Besides the eight focus areas (that will continue) that were meant to develop the research in specific areas across the university we will now use the following four themes to create more synergies, while also allowing new groups to actively participate.The four themes are strategically chosen to both provide a recognizable profile for TAIGA and to connect with strong research profiles of the university. The four themes are:<ul><li>Arctic AI</li><li>Power and AI</li><li>AI for the region</li><li>AI and education</li></ul>The themes are NOT mutually exclusive and people can contribute to several of them and research can fit in more than one theme as well. We want to co-create the concrete content of the themes with all motivated people at university and the region. The first important step will be taken during the TAIGA days. A first sketch of what we understand to be included by the themes is the following:Arctic AI should be about AI theory and systems specifically connected to aspects of the Arctic. E.g. NLP for minority languages, e-health for isolated areas, support to cope with climate change in the Arctic, or other examples.Power and AI is about how the use of AI influences the power balance in society. It can give more power to certain groups of people, it can support or undermine democracy, AI policies can benefit some groups and neglect others, AI can change human interactions, or other examples.AI for the region is meant to reach out specifically outside university and connect AI research at university with needs of municipalities, companies and other regional organizations, or other examples. AI and education is aiming to create a roadmap for AI education both at university as well as in the region. This roadmap can be used to coordinate efforts already underway and facilitate discussion on where more efforts are needed. E.g. should we start an interdisciplinary AI or have a CS AI bachelor or both. How about several interdisciplinary AI Master programs? What are the needs of industry and municipalities wrt AI literacy? Are they the same or different? What role can we play in this education? Who should fund these efforts?For each theme we have half a day at the TAIGA days. Each session starts with an inspirational talk followed by a round table discussion with all participants. The goal of each session is to have a list of interested people and some concrete action points for the next months. If you are interested in one or more themes, please, register for the sessions and bring your ideas! You do not need to know how to solve problems with AI! As long as you have interesting ideas that you think could be tackled (partly) with AI you are welcome to come.Besides the four sessions on the four themes there will also be a session on Friday especially for and by students. This is only for students! But then all students interested in AI or doing research in AI or with AI are welcome to come and see who else is doing that. This is the first event of the S4S group of TAIGA that hopes to bring students that have an interest in AI together. More will follow!Preliminary programParticipation is free, but please register to selected sessions or the whole program. More details will be added to this event page as the program develops.

It’s a chance to meet researchers, share ideas, and discover opportunities for collaboration. The event is hosted by the TAIGA S4S (Students for Students) group.<h3>13:00–16:00 | Education and AI</h3>How prepared are we across universities, schools, and industry for an AI-driven future? This session begins with an inspirational talk by Professor Ola Lindberg, titled “Where do we go without a roadmap?”, exploring why clear AI strategies for education are essential, and what happens when they are missing.Participants will then engage in collaborative workshops to uncover blind spots in current AI education. What types of learning are lacking for students, teachers, researchers, and professionals? Where do we need to strengthen our efforts? Through dialogue and shared mapping, we aim to identify gaps, surface opportunities, and lay the groundwork for new joint initiatives.<h3>16:00–18:00 | AI Jam Session (<a title="google maps" href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/e38qUJpUJhXPvEWcA">UmArts</a>)</h3>Round off TAIGA Days with a creative and social gathering hosted by <a title="www.umarts.se" href="https://www.umarts.se/">UmArts.</a> The AI Jam sessions bring together an interdisciplinary community exploring AI through computer music, composition, live coding, and hands-on tinkering with synthesizers and instrument-making.

In the digital space, women from the Arctic are taking the lead in speaking up about those issues through political discourses, art, and social media.In this presentation, I start by introducing the digital methodology used for my doctoral research, and I offer a brief overview of the Inuit and the Sámi digital context. Then, I demonstrate how the digital can be a space for engagement, but also a mode of engagement itself. I develop several examples of Inuit and Sámi engagement in a digital context, such as the #sealfie campaign and the Fosen movement.Moreover, I discuss how Inuit and Sámi Women appropriate a space dominated by non-indigenous environmental discourses, by contributing to the making of a digital indigeneity, and a global indigenous discourse about climate change. Finally, I share some insights on the differences between Inuit women’s and Sámi women’s environmental engagement.   HumlabLecture/en/events/inuit-and-sami-womens-environmental-engagement_12146974/2025-11-24T13:15:00+01:002025-11-24T14:45:00+01:00/en/events/meet-umea-university-in-madrid_12134636/Meet ��å University in Madrid!Meet ��å University at the FIEP International Postgraduate Studies Fair in Madrid and explore study opportunities in Sweden.Mon, 24 Nov 2025 16:30:00 +0100We will be delighted to meet you in person and guide you through our study programmes entry requirements, the application and admission process, housing and life in Umeå.    Umeå University is one of the nation's leading institutions of higher education and the largest in northern Sweden. We offer over 45 degree programmes taught entirely in English where you will study in an environment rich in opportunities for interdisciplinary research and instruction.

We welcome everyone interested in engaging in research and collaboration for sustainable transformation as we gather this year around the theme of polycrises.Our world is characterised by global challenges of increasing complexity. The combination of crises such as pandemics, climate change, and wars reinforce each other and together form a polycrisis. To address these challenges, interdisciplinary research is required at multiple levels. At this conference, experts from various disciplines will gather to discuss and shed light on the phenomenon of polycrisis from different perspectives.Take the opportunity to meet researchers and colleagues from across the university, and develop new collaborations that can help address major societal challenges of our time.Read more: <a href="/link/863e7bfd91f0487d9892502ef51224ee.aspx">Dealing with the polycrisis - UTRI conference 2025</a><div class="epi-contentfragment">Polykris - bild</div>VardagsrummetConference/en/events/dealing-with-the-polycrisis_12068499/2025-11-27T08:30:00+01:002025-11-27T16:30:00+01:00/en/events/maria-olson_12145600/HESSD-seminar: Maria OlsonThe HESSD seminar series ideas invites you to a seminar with Maria Olson, Stockholm University.Thu, 27 Nov 2025 10:15:00 +0100The HESSD seminar series ideas invites you to a seminar with Maria Olson, Stockholm University.

The Classes of Death Socio-economic mortality differentials in Swedish cities during the harvest failure of 1771-72This thesis explores the possibility of a socio-economic gradient in mortality during short-term economic stress in pre-industrial Swedish cities using the harvest failure in 1771-72 as an example of economic fluctuations/high prices. Using newly transcribed data in a logit model, the study finds results indicating that the poor and individuals in occupations categorized as “service and agriculture”, for example maids and guards, faced a higher risk of mortality during short-term economic stress than individuals with higher status, relative to the difference in risk between the groups during the base period 1768-70. The poor, being the most vulnerable, faced the highest relative risk in the year of high prices. For those in service and agriculture the response was delayed, reaching its highest value in the year after a year of high prices. Differences in timing likely represent effects of malnutrition and supports the hypotheses of a discriminatory mortality response.Fatmomakke NBET floor 4 / ZoomSeminar/en/events/cedar-seminar-novemer-27_12146451/2025-11-27T13:00:00+01:002025-11-27T14:00:00+01:00/en/events/maria-brannholm-syrjala---family-medicine_12135869/Maria Brännholm Syrjälä - Family MedicineSedentary behaviour and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiological insights and an mHealth intervention.Fri, 28 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Maria Brännholm Syrjälä, Department of public health and clinical medicine, defends her doctoral thesis Sedentary behaviour and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiological insights and an mHealth intervention.External reviewer: Associate Professor Fredrik Iredahl, Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences (HMV), Linköping University.Prinicipal supervisor: Patrik Wennberg.The defense will be held in Swedish.It will be possible to follow via Zoom: <a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/64074673385" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Link to Zoom meeting</a> (code 508201)The assembly hall, Sunderby HospitalDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/maria-brannholm-syrjala---family-medicine_12135869/2025-11-28T09:00:00+01:002025-11-28T13:00:00+01:00/en/events/go-abroad-fair---utrecht-nl_12145052/Go-Abroad Fair - Utrecht, NLVisit ��å University at the the Go-Abroad Fair and discover what ��å University has to offer.Fri, 28 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Join us at the Go-Abroad Fair in Utrecht, NL on 28–29 November and discover our English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes!Location: Jaarbeurs Utrecht (Hall 7 & 8)                      Jaarbeursplein, 3521 AL Utrecht Dates: 28 & 29 November 9:00-16:00 Sign Up for free: <a title="https://www.buitenlandbeurs.nl/en/the-exhibition/location-opening-hours" href="https://www.buitenlandbeurs.nl/en/the-exhibition/location-opening-hours">https://www.buitenlandbeurs.nl/en/the-exhibition/location-opening-hours</a>Whether you're looking for a world-class education, innovative research opportunities, or a vibrant student life in northern Sweden — Umeå University has something for you.<ul><li>Internationally recognized degrees</li><li>Over 45 degree programmes taught in English</li><li>Friendly, inclusive campus</li><li>Unique Arctic lifestyle experience</li></ul>Come meet our team, ask questions, and find out how you can start your journey in Sweden!Jaarbeurs Utrecht (Hall 7 & 8) Jaarbeursplein, 3521 AL UtrechtOther/en/events/go-abroad-fair---utrecht-nl_12145052/2025-11-28T09:00:00+01:002025-11-28T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/gabriel-simander--neurosurgery_12099838/Gabriel Simander – NeurosurgeryIntrasellar pressure in patients with pituitary tumor -association with visual and endocrine function, complications and prognosis after surgery.Fri, 28 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0100Gabriel Simander, Department of Clinical Sciences, defends his doctoral thesis Intrasellar pressure in patients with pituitary tumor -association with visual and endocrine function, complications and prognosis after surgery.

Article by Sam Büch, David Loeffler & Emma Svensson. <h3>Abstract</h3>"You shouldn’t believe anything until the evidence actually supports it." Matt DillahuntyClassification is the systematic study, analysis and grouping of entities (both things and concepts) based on perceived types or categories. It is a powerful tool employed by all of the sciences; formal, natural and social. Classification is never final. It is always work in progress, open to constant revision or replacement. This is eloquently expressed by Khazanov who also reminds us:"[that]…definitions, categories, typologies and classifications should never become the end of a study, or a purely semantic exercise. They are only its analytical tool, reflecting somewhat the methodological approaches undertaken. Their value depends not so much on their precision, which is almost always disputable, but on how adequately they serve the specific goals of the investigation." Anatoly M. Khazanov 1994 cited from Marklund 2008:348.Sooner or later everyone bumps into something unique that challenges their frames of reference, resulting in a situation that compels adjustments or a critical reassessment of the classification scheme and, in extension, nurtures new insights concerning the archaeological record and our understanding of the past. This case study addresses said scenario in an archaeological context exemplified by a recently discovered edifice located at the foot of Rösberget (Cairn Mountain) in the Municipality of Umeå, County of Västerbotten, in northern Sweden. This unique feature was first recognized by Peter Holmblad who shared this find with the authors and who also pointed out the seemingly stylistic attributes it appears to share with historical Sami motifs. This notion is explored here.<h3>About the speaker</h3>David Loeffler is a retired Associate Professor of Archaeology at Umeå University.

Thinking with onto-cartography in design researchAnja Neidhardt-Mokoena, HumlabIn design research there is a growing understanding that major parts of our discipline are involved with systems of oppression. In such discourse, design is often described as “entangled with systems of oppression” or “haunted by patriarchy”. But, what exactly does that mean? In this presentation, Anja Neidhardt-Mokoena introduces how thinking with onto-cartography, combined with a feminist approach, can support us in understanding more precisely how certain design institutions (such as design museums) reproduce systems of oppression. This is not only crucial for making sense of the current situation (in and beyond the design discipline), but also for identifying points of leverage where we can intervene and bring about positive change. The presentation is based on Anja’s PhD thesis Feminist Design Strategies for Transforming Design Museums Towards More Justice (2024, at Umeå Institute of Design and Umeå Centre for Gender Studies). <div class="epi-contentfragment">Registration Humlab Talk hybrid</div>Humlab / ZoomLecture/en/events/humlab-talk-anja-neidhardt-mokoena-_12142856/2025-12-04T13:15:00+01:002025-12-04T14:45:00+01:00/en/events/adam-rosenbaum---oncology_12138884/Adam Rosenbaum - OncologyAdam Rosenbaum, Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, defends his thesis in oncology.Fri, 05 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0100Adam Rosenbaum, Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, defends his thesis with the title: Germline Genetic Predisposition for GliomaExternal reviewer: Professor Ruthild G Weber, Institute for Human Genetics, Hannover Medical School, GermanyPrincipal supervisor: Anna Dahlin<a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/68225022288?pwd=uSf70aWbgvaIosvhe4J5n9djqwSFFB.1">Join on Zoom</a> Stora Hörsalen i 5BDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/adam-rosenbaum---oncology_12138884/2025-12-05T09:00:00+01:002025-12-05T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/stina-kallerhult-hermansson--nursing_12144183/Stina Kallerhult Hermansson – NursingBeing and becoming a mentor: Personal and professional growth in a Swedish Norwegian multicenter nurse mentorship interventionFri, 05 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0100Stina Kallerhult Hermansson, Department of Nursing, defends her doctoral thesis Being and becoming a mentor: Personal and professional growth in a Swedish Norwegian multicenter nurse mentorship intervention. Principal supervisor Karin Bölenius.Aula BiologicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/stina-kallerhult-hermansson--nursing_12144183/2025-12-05T09:00:00+01:002025-12-05T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/arctic-connect-dec-25_12144497/Arctic Connect dec25Strengthen your Arctic connections at Arctic Connect!

In part this resistance to environmental stress stems from the SigB-regulated general stress response (GSR). The SigB regulon comprises around 300 genes whose functions contribute to critical homeostatic and protective functions. While the GSR plays a pivotal role in surviving under harsh conditions we have found that there is a significant cost to deploying it and in several conditions we see the emergence of mutations that negatively affect the GSR.

KeenanQueer Play (And Its Haters) Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:30:00 +0100<img src="/link/75ea4af330e74009b4965552fb623697.aspx" alt="blobid1.png" loading="lazy" />Queer Play (And Its Haters)In this presentation, we begin by recounting the unexpected response to our work on drag pedagogy, including both its celebration and the political backlash. Drawing in part from our experiences with the publication of that article, we offer a work-in-progress manifesto proposing queer play as a strategic orientation—as well as set of imaginative, intellectual, and embodied tactics—toward enacting more just and joyful realities across a range of cultural and political contexts.Queerness and play share many conceptual affinities, particularly in facilitating creative, non-normative, and otherwise outside-the-box approaches to ways of thinking and interacting. Following scholars in both queer (e.g., Rubin 1984, Cohen 1997, Muñoz 2009, Ahmed 2006) and play studies (e.g., Huizinga 1955, Caillois 1958, Flanagan 2009, Trammell 2023), we conceive of queer play in expansive ways. By “queer” we are less focused on LGBTQ+ people or topics, and instead emphasize queer ways of being, knowing, and relating. By “play,” we intentionally imagine a capacious range of activities, from traditional “games” to what game scholars Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman (2003) describe as activities of “being playful.”Yet, many historic and contemporary sites of LGBTQ+ struggle and study distance themselves from overtly playful practices in favor of mainstream modes of respectability and policy. Still, queer play is already mischieviously present in many dominant and disciplining institutions—from schooling to social media platforms—in ways that people misuse (Ahmed 2019), obfuscate (Brunton and Nissenbaum 2016), or otherwise “[embrace] the powerful act of playing the ‘wrong’ way” (Ruberg 2019, 18). Drawing on communication and education studies (including our own work on drag pedagogy and digital cultures: Kornstein 2019; Keenan and Hot Mess 2020), we offer a broad conceptualization of queer play as an alternative worldmaking strategy—for pedagogical practice, research, and political action.  In so doing, we complicate several tensions in both queerness and play, including: discourses of childishness, utility and uselessness, as well as risk and danger; topics that are “off limits;” and the overemphasis on both games and on affects of joy. We share examples of figures (e.g., Taylor Mac, Tom of Finland, The Muppets), scenes/sites (e.g., play parties, dollhouses, imaginary museums), and potential tools/toys of queer play (e.g., queer slang, tarot cards, glitter) that demonstrate queer play already in action. We conclude by offering proposals (and demands) for what queer play might look and feel like, focusing on themes of relationality, aesthetics, and sensation.Marta Padovan-Özdemir (chair and discussant) Associate professor, Roskilde University, Denmark is one of the pioneering researchers of norm critique in Denmark.

The problem with instructions is rarely a lack of information — more often, it is the opposite. When overloaded, students struggle to identify what is important.By analysing your own course communication using established frameworks, you will gain insights into how to reduce cognitive overload and structure instructions in a way that helps students focus and plan. The goal is for you to leave the workshop with concrete strategies to improve your course instructions — thereby increasing clarity in both communication and learning.<a href="/link/abd4998933244c88b7c65c13a30f8109.aspx">Read more and register here</a>Läraren, UPLCourse/en/events/kom-workshop-information-or-exformation_12108750/2026-06-03T08:30:00+02:002026-06-03T12:00:00+02:00/en/events/eurau-26-symposium-latitudes_12139443/EURAU 26 Symposium: Latitudes��å School of Architecture welcomes educators, researchers and practitioner to the EURAU 26 Symposium on the theme LATITUDES. Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:00:00 +0200Umeå School of Architecture welcomes educators, researchers and practitioner to contribute to the EURAU 26 Symposium on the theme LATITUDES. Situated reflections on architectural research. Research in Architecture can be conceived as a situated practice, linking to tradition of studies, cultures, climatic and contextual conditions. LATITUDES aims at investigating the field of architecture as a research discipline across cultures, territories and places.Emphasizing the importance of understanding architectural research as a practice situated across multiple contexts, disciplines, and cultural viewpoints and by acknowledging these relational frameworks, LATITUDES encourages researchers with an approach rigorous in measurement yet attentive to the diversity of perspectives that shape the world we inhabit.EURAU European Research on Architecture and Urbanism is a network of schools and researchers in the field, which meets biannually in a symposium to share their investigations.EURAU's main concern is to establish a platform of debate and discussion of contemporary discourses in Architecture and Urbanism. The 2026 conference will be held at Umeå School of Architecture and has the aim to collect reflections and experiences to promote an active engagement of the universities involved to investigate future possibilities of our field of study.The call for paper and a deeper understanding of the theme will be shared soon on <a href="/link/062c039730ea4def9422829c56012e84.aspx">Umeå School of Architecture's website</a>.��å School of ArchitectureSymposium/en/events/eurau-26-symposium-latitudes_12139443/2026-06-10T15:00:00+02:002026-06-12T19:00:00+02:00/en/events/save-the-date-ufbi-25-years-anniversary-_12142163/Save-the-date: UFBI 25 years anniversary ��å center for Functional Brain Imaging (UFBI) 25 years anniversary on June 16-17 2026.
