In bright sunshine - and with only a few raindrops - 290 doctoral graduates and 16 honorary doctors were conferred in hats and wreaths during Lund University’s grand ceremony, the doctoral degree conferment ceremony. At the same time, 48 jubilee doctors were also honoured. View slideshow on Flickr This year’s doctoral conferment ceremony had to take a different route because the University main bu

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a previously unknown effect of vitamin A in human embryonic development. Their findings show that vitamin A affects the formation of blood cells. The signal molecule, retinoic acid, is a product of vitamin A which helps to instruct how different types of tissue are to be formed in the growing embryo. For the first time, Professor Niels-Bjarn

Great tits in urban environments have lower levels of stress hormone than those living in woodland habitats. This according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Certain animals are able to adjust well to environments that have been created or altered by human activity. We live in an age in which urbanisation is proceeding at an ever-faster rate, something that also affects fauna. The gre

Research at Lund University in Sweden has found a new way to create nano-sized magnetic particles using ultrafast laser light pulses. The discovery could pave the way for new and more energy-efficient technical components and become useful in the quantum computers of the future. Magnetic skyrmions are sometimes described as magnetic vortices. Unlike ferromagnetic states - which occur in convention

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The fluttery flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a mystery to researchers, given their unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in Sweden have studied the aerodynamics of butterflies in a wind tunnel. The results suggest that butterflies use a highly

For those who have been following the course of events surrounding pro-Palestinian demonstrations and how tent camps were established on American campuses and then spread to other parts of the world, it will not come as a surprise that such demonstrations have now reached Sweden. A tent camp was set up in Lundagård on Tuesday morning (14 May) and similar camps have been established around other hi

The University management’s view of the government’s proposed model for the profile areas is that it has both advantages and disadvantages. However, it is important to be prepared and to use this opportunity to reinforce the University’s research regardless. The first information meeting about the profile areas at Lund University was held on 12 November. It was well-attended and many questions cam

LU intends to extend and broaden its commitment to the European university initiative EUGLOH. Work on writing an application for continued European university collaboration beyond 2022 started just before Christmas. The EUGLOH initiative is now in its third and final year within the framework of the EU’s first pilot round. The continued collaboration will build on our existing EUGLOH European univ

During 2021, Lund University made several major investments in sustainability, in research, education, external engagement and its own organisation. Everything from solar cells on the roofs to new doctoral students and postdocs focused on Agenda 2030. Lund University’s sustainability work is now presented in an annual summary. Knowledge about the path to a sustainable society is needed now more th

By analyzing DNA with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has developed a method that can accurately date up to ten-thousand year-old human remains. Accurately dating ancient humans is key when mapping how people migrated during world history.The standard dating method since the 1950s has been radiocarbon dating. The method, whi

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule. The discovery could make electric components on a molecular scale possible in the future. The results are published in Nature Communications. Manufacturing very small components is an important challenge in both resear

According to our Platform for Strategic Work, we are to endeavour to be an international university and strive to recruit the best staff from all over the world. However, recruiting staff from other countries is complicated. There are many rules and laws to consider if everything is to be done correctly, particularly in the area of migration. I am therefore proud that we offer much appreciated sup
