Sigurd Lauridsen er udnævnt til professor og skal styrke forskningen i etiske problemstillinger i livet med demens og psykisk sygdom.

Professor Tore Rem, University of OsloAbout the eventTore Rem will present the work currently undertaken by the large interdisciplinary research initiative UiOemocracy (University of Oslo), which has been in existence since 2023. He will talk about why and how UiOemocracy came about, what the 12 research groups do, and how the initiative functions as a laboratory for interdisciplinarity. Rem will also share ways in which the initiative has led to new forms of engagement between research and society, and how it has created popular arenas for discussing the contemporary challenges of democracy.About the speakerTore Rem (b. 1967) is director of UiO emocracy and Professor of literatures in English at the University of Oslo. He has published extensively on British and Scandinavian 19th- and 20th-century literature, book history, world literature, and life writing, and is also the author of a number of non-fiction books.  The event is hosted by Anne Marie Mai

About the lectureSocial capital research helps us understand how relationships shape society. Relationships form networks that channel communication and shape who gets access to information, opportunities, and support. Academic performance relies on a special type of social capital known as the “invisible college”, a term that aims to capture the informal networks of scholars who exchange ideas, collaborate, and influence the direction of knowledge. Measuring this web of informal relationships is an empirical challenge. In this talk, I will discuss research in which we approximate these ties through the analysis of the ‘thank you’ notes appended to journal articles. Documenting how informal structures of support operate can help leverage collective resources in the pursuit of shared intellectual goals – and provide baselines to measure the impact AI will have on the social systems that sustain knowledge production.About the speakerSandra González-Bailón is the Carolyn Marvin Professor of Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication at University of Pennsylvania, where she directs the Center for Information Networks and Democracy (CIND) and holds a secondary appointment in Sociology. Previously a Research Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute (2008–2013), she earned her doctorate in Sociology from Nuffield College, University of Oxford, and completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Barcelona. Her research agenda lies at the intersection of computational social science, political communication, and the analysis of social and information networks.

About the event:This lecture explores how alarmist polycrisis narratives distort risk perceptions, undermine preparedness, and amplify vulnerabilities to hybrid threats. Combining political communication research with technological innovation, it examines how decentralized, community-driven communication networks can strengthen trust, cooperation, and societal resilience.  About the speaker:Sophie Lecheler is Professor of Political Communication at the Department of Communication at the University of Vienna. Her research explores the impact of technological change on politics, public discourse, and democracy, bridging communication science with political science, psychology, and digital technologies. She holds a PhD from the University of Amsterdam and degrees from the Universities of Cambridge and Munich. Previously, she held academic positions at the University of Amsterdam and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her research has appeared in leading international journals, including Journal of Communication, Political Communication, Communication Research, New Media & Society, and Humanities and Social Sciences Communications. She also co-leads the Vienna Doctoral College of Digital Humanism, and currently serves as the speaker for a new Research Platform on Trustworthy Science Communication.More information  https://polcom.univie.ac.at/ The event is organized by Claes De Vreese

The future of food may be buried in the past Climate change is reshaping the conditions under which our food is grown. But long before the present crisis, ecosystems and species were already adapting to environmental disruption. On 16 December, DIAS Chair and internationally renowned DNA researcher Professor Eske Willerslev takes us into AEGIS: the ambitious new research initiative using ancient environmental DNA to understand how past ecosystems responded to change - and how those insights may help build more resilient crops and food systems for the future. Drawing on the project’s first research questions and findings, Willerslev will explore what sediments, genomes and deep environmental history can teach us about climate resilience, biodiversity and global food security. He will also reflect on the challenge of building a major new research centre across disciplines, methods and institutions. The event will be followed by a panel conversation with DIAS Chairs and an open discussion with the audience. About Eske Willerslev Professor Eske Willerslev is a world renowned evolutionary geneticist and pioneer in ancient DNA research. He is Director of the Centre for Ancient Environmental Genomics (CAEG) and leads the international AEGIS programme at the University of Copenhagen, while also serving as Professor at the University of Cambridge. His groundbreaking work has reshaped our understanding of human origins, past ecosystems, and how lessons from ancient DNA can help address future challenges related to climate, biodiversity, and food security. This event is organised by Sten Rynning, DIAS Director & Eske Willerslev, DIAS Chair *Registration: Please register here by 14 December 2026*
