It's a thrilling summer with the Book Club!
The Alumni Network's Book Club is continuing this summer. All you need to do to join is get a copy of Death of a Carpet Dealer by Karin Wahlberg, find a comfortable place in the sun, pour yourself your favourite drink, read and enjoy!

When you have finished the book and the grey weather descends in the autumn, we will prompt you to sign up for the auhor discussion and send in any questions you may have for the author!

We are also offering a seminar about Swedish crime fiction with Kerstin Bergman, who is internationally regarded as one of the foremost experts in this area.

Invites for the two events will be sent out in early autumn.

Working for a sustainable future: concepts and approaches
In this new MOOC from Lund University, participants are introduced to key notions and concepts evolving in sustainability science that are relevant to all, independent to one's work or field of interest. After having completed the course, participants will have a better understanding of the vocabulary used today and should demonstrate the ability to reflect critically to integrate different perspectives of environmental, social and economic sustainability to their specific area of interest or research.

The course is free of charge, has flexible start and study times and is given in English.
