Society and the healthcare sector are changing – and the nursing study programme is under pressure. Two researchers from Roskilde University are involved as Rigshospitalet (Denmark’s largest hospital) experiments with how to train future nurses. The expectations for what a newly educated nurse should be capable of are too high, and the traineeship programmes at clinics are under pressure, the researchers point out.
Several years of intensive research at Roskilde University have documented that copepod larvae have a great potential for being used as a source of food for fish. Now, the research group behind the results are entering into collaboration with a fish farmer in northern Jutland in a large-scale outdoor project that will ensure a stable access to copepods in all seasons. This might make the farming of warm water fish into a sustainable business and can result in the export of Yellowtail Kingfish to sushi restaurants all over Europe.

The research can help us better understand the contemporary political activists in the Middle East.
10 YEARS AFTER THE FINANCIAL CRISIS: In sharp contrast to the cautionary tone, which regulatory authorities applied to the financial sector in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, today regulators seek to attract financial entrepreneurs with promises of quick growth and flexible cooperation. The watchdog has become a teammate, and that should make the alarms go off, a researcher points out.
The intention behind citizen-driven election monitoring is to contribute to transparency and a peaceful democracy, but as an approach, it has some barriers. This is revealed by the research of Roskilde University Associate Professor Norbert Wildermuth.
Researchers from Roskilde University and nurses are improving the dialogue between nurses and patients. This is taking place in a collaborative research project which goes beyond the buzzwords of ‘dialogue’ and ‘co-creation’ and addresses the tensions in play.
