The city as a cultural space - Dr. Myria Georgiou, London School of Economics (LSE)
This paper looks at the city of difference (Fincher and Jacobs 1998) as a cultural space full of unknowns and uncertainties, risks and opportunities. While urban uncertainties represent a condition associated with city life, their cultural and social meanings remain contested.
This course is an introduction to business models and how business models can be used to gain a competitive advantage.

Through the intersectional turn, issues of racism and antiracism become crucial in feminist research and activism. Understanding the centrality of different experiences of racism has added to a transformation of the field of gender studies, in a variety of aspects: epistemologically, theoretically, methodologically and politically.
The project is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
Main objectives:
To understand the role of the molecular interactions in polymer-polymer de-mixing during thin film formation, by monitoring it in-situ, imaging it at scales from nano- to micrometers, and modelling its dynamics.
To understand how molecular interactions can be manipulated by external stimuli with the goal to manipulate morphology.
To rationalize and optimize morphologies for optical a
