The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work. It speaks to what is most important to the University right now and will help it to act much faster as the world changes. Pandemic, war in Europe, fake news, increased polarisation at home and abroad and,

Ice sheets, snow and the ocean as far as the eye can see. No shipping vessels or people in sight, and only polar bears for company. The icebreaker Oden sails between Svalbard and Greenland, and this spring, doctoral student Lovisa Nilsson joined the ship to study the transition from winter to summer in the Arctic, and how soot affects the melting of sea ice. For six weeks, the spaces onboard Oden

The on-screen lecture looks like any other digital seminar. But this is no normal session. The audience lives in the university town of Zhytomyr in Ukraine, and they are taking part in a series of online seminars organised by around ten researchers and teaching staff from Lund. One of the organisers of the knowledge exchange is Oksana Chernysh, dean of the Faculty of Pedagogical Technologies and L

It is Thursday morning and time for the miniature brains to have lunch. The temperature in the cell incubator is a comfortable 37 degrees, perfect for a tiny brain. Anna Falk prepares the nutrient solution that the cells need to grow. These are cells that have made the remarkable transformation from skin cells to stem cells and then to brain neurons. The small model of the brain is called an organ

Lund University has been sliding down the lists of the three main university ranking organisations for several years. Today, we make only one of the top 100 lists, and even then with a mere five places above the 100 cut-off. Daniel J. Guhr is an expert on the importance of these rankings and knows what the consequences can be if the downward trend continues. “Losing a top 100 position in all three

Should climate researchers let their findings speak for themselves, or does the state of the planet mean that it is a duty to take to the barricades? How can science get its message across in the best way and does climate activism by researchers impact their credibility? These questions were the focus of Debatt i Lund this May. The panel consisted of sustainability researcher Kimberly Nicholas, so

To ensure that everyone has their say and that no one feels attacked when debating loaded and sensitive topics, it is important to establish the ground rules from the outset. This applies to society at large and in the lecture hall. This is the opinion of Christer Mattsson, Associate Professor of Pedagogy and Director of the Segerstedt Institute at the University of Gothenburg, who has been invite

Intensive work is underway to build up the new Research Data Office. The unit is starting to take shape and much of the work from the project “Building the e-Infrastructure Unit” has been transformed into a permanent and long-term plan for how we will work with research data management in the future.

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

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

Ett innovativt pantsystem för matförpackningar. Det är en bättre och mer omfattande åtgärd än den omtvistade plastpåseskatten som kan komma att tas bort eller reduceras vid årsskiftet. Det menar statsvetaren Karl Holmberg som anser att skatten bör behållas – men då utökas till att omfatta alla typer av engångspåsar. Regeringen har i vårbudgeten förslagit att remittera frågan om att avskaffa eller

Vetenskapsrådets indragna anslag till utvecklingsforskning har drabbat forskare vid Lunds universitet hårt. – Det här har vi sett i andra länder där ytterhögerpartier har haft stort inflytande, säger Anders ­Uhlin, professor i statsvetenskap och en av de forskare som hade lämnat in en ansökan om anslag. Sydostasien har länge varit Anders Uhlins område. I december förra året befann han sig i Indone
