The Research Days will be held over two days in October 2014. Twenty-nine short popular science talks will be given by early career researchers, which form the core of the Research Days. A total of 41 researchers will participate. The audience consists of high school students, but also existing students and the general public. The presentations cover everything from monitoring premature babies, how we socialize via computer games, to how we can detect climate change in the Arctic. Since 2005, the 'Ask the Scientist' panel discussions have been organized, where the audience can ask questions to experts. Ahead of the approval of the UN report on climate change, the IPCC will visit Stockholm this fall. Ask the Scientists therefore touches on a highly topical subject and will, among other things, discuss the importance of water for the climate. The purpose of the Research Days is to present and make current research within the university more accessible to the outside world. Research in natural sciences, humanities, social sciences and law is presented. The event enables an exchange between researchers and people who do not usually come into contact with research. The Research Days aim to raise awareness of and interest in individual subjects, promote interdisciplinary contacts and strengthen the link between undergraduate and postgraduate education. The Research Days are thus important in strengthening the image of Stockholm University and in the long-term recruitment of students and postgraduate students.
