Alumni are a group that we sometimes almost manage to overlook, but given that our network of alumni is approaching 50,000 individuals, they are certainly worthy of our attention! Even more so, perhaps, as we approach the end of an academic year with many students about to take the step to becoming alumni. Getting alumni involved in activities brings many advantages for a university. This might in

AI-chatten kan svara på frågor, översätta, skriva kod, eller författa en spännande novell. Möjligheterna fascinerar och kanske oroar en del, men vad är ChatGPT? – I mina ögon fyller chat-botten främst två funktioner; som coach och som produktivitetsverktyg, säger Björn Svensson, studierektor och universitetsadjunkt i informatik på Ekonomihögskolan.

Innovation och framgångsrika lärosäten går hand i hand. På rak arm är det svårt att komma på något välrenommerat universitet som inte är duktig på innovationsfrågor. Vid Lunds universitet har vi under lång tid arbetat med innovationsfrågor på många olika sätt, inte minst vad gäller forskningsresultat som i sin tur resulterat i företag i form av start-ups. Många av dessa företag har även kunnat ta

Thanks to stem cell research, we now understand much more about the earliest stages of human development and what underlies many of our diseases. In recent years, the field has been revolutionised by several discoveries that have completely changed the landscape of stem cell research.

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body’s immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system’s ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice.

The most important mineral in today's electric car batteries is lithium. China completely dominates the market, with no extraction taking place in Europe. However, a new study shows that there is great potential for European lithium production, which would bring improvements in competitiveness, the climate and security.

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.
