Project GEDIS investigates gender roles in information science

In the project ‘Gender Diversity in Information Science: Challenges in Higher Education’ (GEDIS), the team is investigating gender aspects in library and information science degree programmes. It is looking at teaching materials, curricula and academic citation practices. Initial results show that the gender perspective is hardly addressed in curricula. An analysis of the reading lists used by all partners in their teaching clearly shows that women are severely underrepresented in the works cited.

Moving Europe – Young people explore (hi)stories of migration

Coastal protection under climate change: Innovative dune-dike solutions

Accelerating climate change and rising sea levels are exposing coastal regions to unprecedented threats. Traditional methods of coastal defence need to evolve to meet the challenges of the 21st century. This is where the dune-dike solution comes in: a hybrid, nature-based approach that combines natural dunes with artificial dikes to provide a resilient, adaptable and sustainable coastal defence.
