Diversity for university

Hur ser lärosätena i Sverige på begreppet mångfald? Med detta projekt vill IVAs Studentråd bredda synen och diskussionen om mångfald inom högre utbildning som annars ofta tenderar att stanna vid genus och etnicitet. Genom att kartlägga lärosätenas mångfaldssatsningar, lyfta goda exempel och egna tankar vill Studentrådet inspirera och pusha lärosäten till fortsatt progressivt mångfaldsarbete.

Kraftsamla för klimatet

För att kunna möta avgörande klimatmål, både globala och nationella, måste vi jobba med omställningen på alla fronter.

Smart landsbygd

Diskursen om digitaliseringens effekter på samhället paketeras ofta i begreppet Smarta städer. Däremot speglar inte det stadscenterande begreppet de samtida befolkningsströmningarna. Att digitalisera har visat sig vara inte bara en möjliggörare för ny livsstil men också nödvändigt för att kunna bemöta framtidens utmaningar. I en allt mer digitaliserad värld kommer därmed strålkastarljuset riktas mot Sveriges landsbygd. Men vi i IVAS Studentråd ställer oss frågan hur utvecklingen går idag.
