According to a travel survey conducted last autumn, better public transport and secure bicycle parking at the workplace are the main measures needed to reduce car commuting. There are also differences in travel patterns between faculties. "The travel survey provides a valuable insight into the commuters’ wishes on what can facilitate sustainable travel in their everyday lives. Now we can weave thi

Set a goal for your training for one to four months and pay in SEK 1,000. You get your money back if you achieve your goal. Crazy? Perhaps, but in a study by Professor of Economics Erik Wengström and his colleagues, the incentive proved to be quite effective compared with the control groups. “I’ve had a long-standing interest in how people behave in strategic situations and if you look at it from

What is the perfect recipe for semiconductors? Vanya Darakchieva is working on the answer in her research on novel semiconductor materials. As a professor of solid state physics at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), she is a “research chef” designing the future cookbook for sustainable and safe electronics. Understanding and explaining the mysteries of nature was Vanya Darakchieva’s dream during he

Investigating air pollution is not for researchers afraid of heights. One of the fearless is Erik Ahlberg, a combustion physicist at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). His working days are often spent far above ground – currently on the roof of Malmö Town Hall, where the instruments that capture air particles are located. There are many stairs in the town hall. The last staircase to the top of the

With Varvsstaden out of the picture, the University of Chicago’s establishment and investment in one of the US megacity’s most vulnerable areas, South Side, serve as the blueprint for the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts’ future co-location. “Imagine creating a campus area in Heleneholm where the Malmö Academy of Music is already located. It would be something completely new in Scandinavia, and

He has designed a transport box that keeps hearts alive outside the body and developed a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device. But during a visit to nuns in Africa, he was suspected of being a spy. Meet Stig Steen, a post-retirement professor of thoracic surgery, who is driven by an unshakeable belief that the greatest things in life are on the other side of the mountain. If Stig Steen had f

What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant. The costs would be too high and the logistics of providing first and second-cycle education in particular would be difficult to organise. “This was crucial. The costs plus the fact that everything indicated that if we had relocated first and second-cycle e

An artwork based on the MAX IV Laboratory control system is about to land on the Moon. Filip Persson, Assistant Head of Accelerator Operations at MAX IV, has created the ’MAX IV Control System’ – a digital artwork visualising the connections within the MAX IV control system. By transforming data into imagery, Filip has produced an art piece that resembles galaxies and star clusters – as a tribute

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

Many of the University’s researchers are publishing fantastic research that has been done with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). Many are curious to test out AI to improve, simplify or speed up at least a part of the research process. At the same time, many are asking “what am I allowed to use AI for?” The starting point when using AI in research is to follow the basic principles of

Emissions from our air travel decreased in 2024, compared with the previous year. Air travel accounts for the main part of our emissions from business travel and therefore the total climate impact of our business travel has decreased, even though emissions from car travel have increased. Every year, in connection with its annual report, the University submits a report on our environmental manageme

Konstnärliga fakulteten överger planerna på att samlokalisera all verksamhet i Varvsstaden. Kostnaderna skulle bli för höga och en flytt till Varvsstaden skulle äventyra kvaliteten på utbildningarna. – Det finns en samsyn kring detta på alla institutioner. Alla är överens om att samlokaliseringen inte får leda till kvalitetsförsämringar. Vi har sett andra bygga så att de tvingats skära i verksamhe

Var ska kemister och fysiker ha sina lokaler i framtiden? En rapport visar att det blir mycket dyrare om de flyttar till Science Village jämfört med om de stannar kvar på Sölvegatan.

För biologen Roberto García-Roa är forskning och fotograferande två sammanflätade aktiviteter som berikar varandra. Nu har han ännu en gång vunnit priser i en internationell tävling för naturfotografi. Det är mitt på dagen i Tambopatas regnskog i Peru. Den tropiska värmen är tryckande, nästan olidlig. Roberto García-Roa har varit uppe hela natten och är rejält trött av sömnbrist. Men strax kommer

År 2023 var det varmaste året som någonsin har uppmätts och 2024 kommer att bli ännu varmare. Demokratin är på tillbakagång och bristen på mat ökar, som en följd av militära konflikter, ekonomiska kriser och extremväder. Förenta nationernas möjligheter att agera globalt är betydligt sämre än tidigare, som en följd av det geopolitiska läget. Detta under en tid när vi verkligen skulle behöva interna
