Kursen syftar till att ge fördjupade kunskaper i fysiken kring acceleratorer och erfarenhet om beräkningar och modellering av acceleratorsystem. Dessutom syftar kursen till en grundläggande förståelse av frielektronlasern och dess acceleratorsystem.  The aim of the course is to give deepened knowledge in the physics of accelerators and experience in both calculations and modeling of accelerator systems. In addition the course aims at providing a fundamental understanding of the Free Electron Laser and its accelerator systems.

The thesis should be a synthesis and further development of the knowledge and competences gained during the three terms of course work in LUMES on top of undergraduate studies. The thesis work should develop the student’s potential for professional sustainability work and/or for further research.

I kursen diskuteras olika politiska ansatser och förhållningssätt till hållbarhetsfrågor i relation till den faktiska förmågan att hantera hållbarhetsutmaningar. Kursen tar upp centrala politiska faktorer samt hur vi kan förstå och skapa alternativa vägar till förändring. I kursen behandlas framför allt: Begreppet politik och dess historik och beståndsdelar. Aktuella politiska former och utmaniThe course addresses political approaches to and perspectives on sustainability issues and place these in relation to the actual ability to address sustainability challenges. It tackles both central political factors as well the creation of alternative pathways towards change. The main focuses of the course are: the concept of politics, its history and components; current political forms and ch

Kursen erbjuder tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv från miljögeografi för att studera sociala och miljömässiga processer i specifika geografiska sammanhang. Perspektiv från en rad olika forskningsfält, såsom markförändringsvetenskap, landskapsgeografi och politisk ekologi, behandlas. Kursen syftar till att fördjupa studentens förståelse för och förmåga att utforska de sociala, ekonomiska och miljömThe course provides interdisciplinary perspectives from the field of environmental geography aimed at studying the dynamics of social and environmental change in particular places. It covers perspectives from a variety of research fields, such as land-change science, landscape geography, and political ecology. It aims to advance students’ understanding of the spatial dimensions of social, economic

Kursen ger en översikt över ekonomiska teorier och ekonomisk tillväxt och analyserar deras miljömässiga och sociala konsekvenser, så som degradering av miljön eller inverkan på social välfärd och jämlikhet. Studenter utvecklar förmågan att kritiskt utvärdera implikationer från olika ekonomiska paradigm för transformativ förändring samt att kunna avväga deras respektive för- och nackdelar. Under kuThe course briefly reviews economic theories and economic growth and analyses their environmental and social consequences, for instance, environmental degradation, social welfare and equity. Students will develop competencies in critically assessing the implications of different economic paradigms for transformative change and weighing the trade-offs for each. During the course, students will: C

Kursen ger deltagarna möjlighet att förbättra sina kunskaper och färdigheter inom hållbarhetsvetenskap genom en djupare förståelse av styrkorna och svagheterna med deltagande metoder. Kursen bygger på transformativt studentlärande där studenterna utvecklar kunskaper och färdigheter i problemlösningsprocesser för hållbarhet genom iterativa aktiviteter som idéskapande, reflektion, teoribildning, intThis course provides opportunities for participants to enhance their knowledge and skills in sustainability science through a deeper comprehension of the strengths and weaknesses of participatory methods. The course is based on transformative student learning whereby students develop knowledge and skills in sustainability problem solving processes through iterative activities such as idea generati

The themes are covered significantly through a variety of scientific readings and reflection that exemplify different approaches and perspectives for analysing and interpreting present and future water resource availability, the political ecology of water resource challenges, water-related vulnerability and adaptation measures, and uncertainties in climate modelling coupled to freshwater resourcesThe themes are covered significantly through a variety of scientific readings and reflection that exemplify different approaches and perspectives for analysing and interpreting present and future water resource availability, the political ecology of water resource challenges, water-related vulnerability and adaptation measures, and uncertainties in climate modelling coupled to freshwater resources

The main aim of the course is to provide conceptual frameworks for studying and evaluating the impact that social movements for sustainability can have on the public agenda and decision-making. The course is a seminar course, although it starts with a few lectures on the history and different theoretical perspectives on social movements, introducing the students to the relevant literature.
