Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. University Advisory Board, tre internationella rådgivare till universitetet, har nu träffat universitetsledningen för sista gången. Experternas intryck är att mycket bra saker har hänt under de fem år som har gått. Samtidigt är det nu dags att ta nästa steg för att nå målsättningen att bli ett världsledande universi

Once again, we are now seeing an increase in the spread of infection, in particular in Europe; this week, the Public Health Agency of Sweden announced new recommendations to avoid crowding, among other things. We are still offering on-campus education but everyone is to avoid crowding and large gatherings. We are carefully monitoring the situation and trying to keep the organisation updated on any

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct

Some time ago, I was asked, “What does Lund University want in terms of AI and research?” At first, I was a little surprised and thought, is the University to have an explicit position on this? But then I started thinking about the University’s other clearly-stated ambitions. We want to be a “world-class university,” we want to “understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.” S

Since its foundation, the WCMM research school has encouraged young scientists to exchange ideas and foster collaborations while keeping up with the latest techniques. Delving into its origins, coordinators Paul Bourgine and Nick Leigh reflect on the genesis of the WCMM Research School. As this year marks the fifth anniversary of the WCMM Research School, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on t

It has been a year ago since bacteria from war-wounded at hospitals in Ukraine were analysed. The study, which attracted a lot of attention, showed that some of the bacteria types had total resistance to antibiotics. Now, the same researchers have examined the infectiousness of the bacteria. "The bacterium 'Klebsiella pneumoniae', which is resistant to all antibiotics, is also particularly aggress

Magdalena Götz, a professor of physiology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, held the prestigious Segerfalk lecture last year. The discovery she made as a young researcher started the new field of direct reprogramming to replace degenerated neurons. Magdalena Götz was about to start her lab and was in the process of conducting a control experiment. What she observed was unexpected. Rather

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. For the first time, scientists are able to describe the exact mechanism for how a common genetic variant leads to a disruption in blood lipid levels that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. The one in every three persons who carries both copies of the risk allele engages a 40 percent higher risk of suff

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol

The collaboration hub, Sustainable Future Hub, was initiated by LUSEM in 2019. The goal of the project has been to drive sustainable transformation through collaboration of external actors, researchers, teachers, and students. Sustainable Future Hub has advanced the position of the School in terms of sustainable development, and created opportunities for collaborations that will continue even afte

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The artist performs, the audience listens and applaud to show their appreciation. These are the given roles during a concert. But what happens if we dissolve these roles and the audience acts in a way that is completely unexpected. Does this change the song? The sound? The communication? This is what an interdisciplin

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new research model of the early embryonic brain. The aim of the model is to study the very earliest stages of brain to understand how different regions in the brain are formed during embryonic development. With this new insight, researchers hope to be

Writing a thesis can be both lonely and difficult to get started with. To support students in the writing process, the Faculty of Science Library and the Academic Support Centre at Lund University have launched a joint digital initiative combining focused writing sessions with Q&A drop-ins.“We noticed that students often come to us with questions that fall somewhere between the library and the Aca

En observationsstudie från Lunds universitet som undersökt sockerkonsumtion, har fått stor nationell och internationell uppmärksamhet. Studien visar att sötade drycker har större negativ inverkan på hälsan än andra sockerkällor. De ökade signifikant risken för ischemisk stroke, hjärtsvikt, förmaksflimmer och bråck på bukens kroppspulsåder. Av de 70 000 svenskar som deltog i hälsostudien, blev 26 0

Han Somsen has newly been appointed professor in environmental law at the Faculty of Law. He is best known for his recommendation that bird-killing cats should be kept indoors. “Humans see themselves as the kings of the hill, which extends to their cats. If you question this, many people get very angry. I got death threats,” says Han Somsen. Han Somsen’s latest position was as professor at Tilburg

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. To distinguish between education and research as early as the allocation stage of basic government funding does not benefit their intertwining. Nor is it helpful that only research counts if you want to have a good career. “Good teaching initiatives are to be rewarded and teaching should be well-regarded” according to

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what
