Teaching science and technology in the Anthropocene era
The needs of the world are changing as questions about sustainable development become more urgent — but is our teaching in higher education developing? We have been working on a creative and innovative higher education pedagogical development project where teachers at Stockholm University (SU), and KTH Royal Institutet of Technology are testing new perspectives and ways of teaching. The project has been ongoing during 2024 and is now being evaluated in the spring of 2025. The project team includes Veronica Flodin, Eva Österlind, Anne-Kathrin Peters, Miriam Huitric, Iann Lundegård, and Leif Dahlberg (not pictured). You can find more about the projects at the SU and KTH websites linked below.

Bayer's work on sustainability
To strengthen its climate and environmental efforts, Bayer commissioned Swedish Environmental Research Institute to conduct pilot studies on emissions from pharmaceutical production—an area where data is often lacking. Bayer has also developed its own method for calculating Product Carbon Footprint through the initiative Together for Sustainability. In April, unique emissions data was presented in Sweden, sparking strong interest from pharmacies and healthcare regions. Key findings include: packaging and leaflets contribute significantly to emissions, and different pharmaceuticals have highly varying carbon footprints.
