The development of batteries for electric vehicles has progressed much faster than experts and policymakers had anticipated. New research shows that the market is well equipped to cope with both raw material shortages and price increases. This raises questions about which materials are actually critical to the energy transition, according to the researchers. A new study has analysed battery develo

Teachers are exploring generative AI tools on their own. This event shares research from six schools in Sweden and Australia, led by Professor Neil Selwyn, to discuss AI's role in education today. In the absence of official guidelines and institutional strategies, teachers around the world have been left largely to make sense of generative AI (genAI) tools for themselves. We present empirical work

At the start of a new academic year, it is good to remind yourself of the procedures that apply in the workplace. If you are involved in an occupational injury or incident, you are to report it in the IA system. This is important for several reasons – including to prevent it from happening again and to ensure that you receive any compensation. What to report?In addition to occupational injuries an
