Policy documents

You can find our operational plans for 2021 and later, in Swedish, on the Swedish version of this page.

Equal treatment and working environment

The Department of Mathematics has a Council for Work Environment and Equal Opportunities (RALV), which has meetings once every semester and also works with issues as needed. We follow Stockholm University's policies, and you can read more here:

Equal treatment of students

Working environment and equal terms

If you have questions about our work on issues of equal treatment and working environment, you can contact the head of RALV, Neshat Lindberg.

Sustainability at the Department of Mathematics

Our local policy for sustainability for 2025 focuses on: environmental conciousness among staff, and climate goals.

Note that there are receptacles for waste separation in our premises, in all the kitchens and the post room. There are also such receptacles elsewhere in Albano, outside the department's premises.

Personal data on our course sites and test sites

We use Moodle for our course sites, and in order to maintain these we have a number of test sites where we can safely test new products and upgrades. We also have a separate site for electronic exams, and a test site for that. Here you can read about what personal data is used on these sites.
