Getting rid of discrimination against minorities represents a triumph for natural justice as well as a chance to make society as a whole stronger. But the celebration needs to be mixed with hard work and clear thinking. Companies will find it hard to make a success of diversity if they refuse to recognize that it brings challenges as well as opportunities”. [Economist, Schumpeter, 11 February, 2016] DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY AWARD 4 The nine universities in the Aurora network share a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. All Aurora partners subscribe to equal opportunities for all. With our diversity policies we aim to contribute to the inclusiveness of European societies in which equality of men and women still is not a matter of course, divides between cultural and ethnic groups are increasingly at stake, sexual orientation and gender identity are still reasons for violence and discrimination, and where social economic differences become larger rather than smaller. We value different perspectives as essential aspects of an academic community. We believe that diversity among our students and staff will enhance the quality of university education and research. 2017 AURORA To be successful in our diversity policies requires hard work and clear thinking. In 2017, the Aurora Diversity Award was launched within the network to highlight innovative and successful inclusion and diversity interventions. This publication presents a selection of the entries that we received. We hope that the interventions will inspire students, teachers, researchers, administrators and members of the supporting staff looking for inspiring ways to foster diversity and inclusion in their institutions.

  • Behind the Paywall: a Cross-Thematic Conference on the Implications of the Budding Market for Paid-For Online News
    Conference Call Behind the Paywall: A Cross-Thematic Conference on the Implications of the Budding Market for Paid-for Online News Host: Nordicom Venue: The University of Gothenburg (Sweden) Date: January 23–24, 2019 Deadline for extended abstracts: November 15, 2018 The past few years have seen a dramatic upsurge in paywalls being erected across the news media landscape. Online news content that was previously circulated for free is now available only to those who are willing to pay for it. The paywalls are an industry response to two interacting market forces: the gradual decline in printed newspaper sales and the increasing dominance of global networking platforms such as Google and Facebook on national and local advertising markets. In order for commercially funded news media outlets to survive, online audience revenue seems to be the most viable way forward. The implications of what appears to be a fundamental shift from “free-for-all” to “subscribers-only” access to online news, are plentiful. As a research area, it raises important questions regarding such diverse topics as digital business models and digital media policy, journalistic processes and journalistic content, news media audiences and news media use, and – indeed – the democratic function of commercial news media at large. What happens with news media products and what happens with news media audiences when paywalls are erected? What happens with those that chose not to pay? And how does this metamorphosis of the private news media sector affect the role and scope of public service media? Against the backdrop of these rather fundamental questions, Nordicom (Nordic Information Centre for Media and Communication Research at the University of Gothenburg) invites the international research community to a two-day conference devoted to the paywall phenomenon.

Knowledge for Change lecture series #1 Malmö University September 14, 2017 Editors: Tapio Salonen & Hans Lindquist Published: Malmö 2018 A Vibrant Urban University with a Growing Global Presence Thoughts on What Malmö University Could Be Malmö University - Knowledge for Change Paper John Aubrey Douglass Senior Research Fellow – Public Policy and Higher Education Center for Studies in Higher Education Goldman School of Public Policy UC Berkeley It is a malady of the modern age for universities. The forces of globalization and a campaign by various international university ranking enterprises place too much emphasis on a narrow model of what the best universities should be. One result: the notion of a “World Class University” (WCU) and the focus on its close relative, global rankings of universities, dominates the higher education policymaking of ministries and major universities throughout the globe. Why the attention almost exclusively on research productivity and a few key markers of prestige, like Nobel Laureates? One major reason is that globally retrievable citation indexes (also a relatively new phenomenon) and information on research income are now readily available and not subject to the labor intensive, and sometimes dubious, efforts Table 1: The New and the Old – Public Universities in Sweden to request and get data from Est as a Research individual institutions.

It is one of the major universities in northern Europe. We are also one of the most popular universities in Sweden – the University of Gothenburg has the highest number of applicants to many programmes and courses. The University’s roughly 40 different Departments cover most scientific disciplines, making it one of Sweden’s broadest and most wide-ranging higher education institutions. In an international perspective too, the University of Gothenburg is unusually comprehensive, with cutting-edge research in a number of dynamic research areas. Cooperation with Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, society at large and trade and industry has been consistently strengthened and intensified over recent years, as have international contacts and collaborative projects with partners abroad. The University of Gothenburg is an innovative, creative university that makes the most of its impressive breadth. Here, you will find the space you need in order to grow and take new steps. 2 sustainable development – an investment in the future Issues relating to the climate and the environment are crucial to the future of our world. All the Univer- sity of Gothenburg’s faculties and departments are therefore committed to sustainable development. We offer many different courses on this subject, including both subject-specific courses and broader interdisciplinary programmes, covering everything from environmental psychology to marine ecology and atmospheric chemistry.
