This course emphasizes that systems-based changes are needed to achieve a sustainable world. In the past, dominant theories of change have neglected these complex conditions. In part, it includes the belief that change can be managed, planned, and controlled. This course suggests more contemporary theories where you are more inclusive, being many stakeholders and use fluid ways of creating change. Similar compositions of ideas have been tested in the honours track Change Maker Future Track at LU School of Economics and Management. At the end of the course, the participants will have a better chance of: a.       Understanding of the systemic nature of sustainability b.       Understanding of systems theory, and the concepts of complexity and wicked problems c.       Understanding of systems innovation and change d.       Having an overview of some tools for describing and analysing complex problems and contexts e.       Having an overview of contemporary theories of change f.        Having an in-depth understanding of the concept of Catalytic Leadership and Change

In this course, we explore the crucial role of cities in addressing climate change and meeting their ambitions in line with the 1.5°C goal. So far, global commitments to the Paris Agreement goal of 1.5 degree have proven insufficient. Based on current commitments the projected global temperature rise ranges from 2.9 degrees to 3.4 degreesby the end of the century.  The course offers insights as to the different approaches that cities can take to speed up the change. Course topics include the physical layout of cities and its relationship to energy systems, the role of renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as urban planning and transport planning. The course taps into WWF’s experience in advising cities on their climate action plans from over a decade running the One Planet City Challenge assessment framework. The course also showcases how cities currently are developing climate action plans and which actions can be relevant in your case. This course is produced by WWF in partnership with Lund University. Learning materials include best cases which come from the cities across the globe that partake in WWF’s global initiative the One Planet City Challenge. The course content is structured as follows: Module 1: Cities & Climate Change / 1.5°C alignment in citiesModule 2: Urban Planning & Policy: Getting this right for climate & people            Module 3: Renewable Energy in cities - Renewable Energy Solutions are crucial for cities to meet the 1.5°C targetModule 4: Energy Efficiency in cities   This course will soon be available.

Web application security encompasses that the student should learn to understand and discover weaknesses and vulnerabilities in web applications both on the server side and on the client side as well as be able to develop solutions for protection and conduct tests.

The course addresses fundamental questions related to how to build trusted systems. The focus will be on specific characteristics and approaches that allow to build trust into systems. In addition, methods to ensure that computers and services behave faithfully to the implementation specifications will be presented as well as approaches for detecting malicious deviations from the specifications. This course also introduces Blockchain concepts, security perspective of blockchain, consensus in blockchain, the decentralized philosophy behind Blockchain, as well as the main discussions in Blockchain environment and its potential applications.

Every sector of the global economy relies on software. This makes software one of the principal targets for state-sponsored groups, military, criminals and other type of adversaries. Such attacks try to exploit insecure code, that is seemingly innocent bugs, which allow the adversaries to obtain unauthorized access to information or to take full control of compromised systems. The purpose of this course is to train software professionals in understanding in depth how insecure code can be exploited. In addition, it will equip them with knowledge in how to defend against this type attacks. The course begins by analyzing technical, psychological, and real-world factors that lead to production of vulnerable code. This is important knowledge for both developers and managers as it allows them to take actions that mitigate the impact of these factors, both when programming is performed but also during project management. Software exploits use specially crafted input data to applications and services to leverage logic flaws in the code that processes the input. Typically, the exploits overwrite specific structures in the program memory space, which allows them to bypass access control mechanisms and/or execute code provided as part of the input data. Therefore, a large part of the course is dedicated to understanding how exploits are constructed, essentially learning attackers’ “modus operandi”.

The purpose of the course is to show how security practices can be integrated into different software development processes (traditional, agile, continuous) and how to assess the maturity of the integration. The student will learn about different models, with a focus on a specific one touching upon security practices during software design, implementation, verification, and operation. In order to take different backgrounds and previous knowledge of the students into account, the course also covers the necessary background information on classical and security-oriented software development process models. The course enables students to assess the maturity of secure software development processes based on a model.

The course provides knowledge and skills needed for defending critical infrastructure against cyber attacks. The example if such attack is Blackenergy cyberattack on the Ukrainian electrical grid in 2015 by Sandworm group (Russian GRU). This course covers security in SCADA and cyberphysical systems (CPS) as well as the regulations and standards that are applicable that helps to ensure an audit trail.
