Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

There is widespread agreement among the physicists and chemists for their establishment in Science Village to take place simultaneously and as soon as possible. There are also proposals for how the two departments could work together. Leif Bülow, head of the Department of Chemistry, describes the forthcoming establishment and merger as an incredible opportunity and says the vast majority of those

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but

They come from different academic disciplines but have all ended up at the Centre for Economic Demography at Lund University. Join Ingrid van Dijk, Finn Hedefalk and Björn Eriksson in a conversation about the conditions for early-career researchers, learning from senior colleagues, and passing the torch on. “One of the most enjoyable parts of our work is learning from others.” These words belong t

Sociologist of religion Linnea Jensdotter conducts research on the role of religion in politics. She has analysed 20,000 Facebook comments on articles from Sweden’s biggest news sites. Her analysis shows that religion is becoming more politicised. Some comments point to religion to assert “Swedish values”. Others display a genuine interest and a willingness to discuss. “What surprised me was that

The idea that research results should be simplified and related to a media logic when being communicated to the public is challenged in a new report on research communication. “It is just as important, if not more so, to provide an understanding of what lies behind the results – of the knowledge and the methods used,” says organisational researcher Anna Jonsson. She has been involved in the recent

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

Poverty reduction globally is one of the UN’s primary goals. But how can wealth and economic development be measured in a smart way? Artificial intelligence, AI, and satellite photos are able to give more effective and precise measurements, but will remote sensing technology ever be able to replace time-consuming interview surveys? In rich countries, GDP is the most common measure of a country’s w

Visible matter in the universe represents only five per cent of everything that exists. The rest is invisible dark matter and dark energy. Particle physicist Ruth Pöttgen is one of the Lund University researchers involved in the search for the mysterious dark matter of the universe. She is standing at her whiteboard in a small office at Fysicum. With the help of her pen, Ruth Pöttgen tries to pain

You are at the shop to buy food for the weekend. The shop’s security guard is keeping a close eye on you and you start to get nervous. He approaches you and you feel that you are starting to break out in a sweat. What the heck does he really want? This is not happening for real. It is just a situation in a virtual world, tailor-made for violent criminals to train them to control their aggression.

The results from the autumn travel habits survey show that a majority of the University’s staff (approx. 80%) get to and from work by walking, cycling or using public transport. This is a higher percentage than for other large organisations in Lund. However, there is potential for even more people to commute sustainably by investments in public transport and measures to promote cycling on campus.

Lund University is driving a unique initiative to recruit top international researchers. Help us to convince prospective colleagues from around the world to choose Lund. In recent times, many countries have seen a decline in opportunities to conduct research and get a university education. This is due to cutbacks in grants as well as stricter immigration rules that have made it more difficult for

Flera viktiga kunskaper och antaganden om glutenintolerans, celiaki, bekräftas i en omfattande, internationell studie där Lunds universitet deltar. Det gäller bland annat den höga risken för glutenintolerans bland svenska barn. Rönen, som presenteras i The New England Journal of Medicine, bygger på den första större studien där deltagare från flera olika länder följts upp på identiskt vis. Basen ä

Nu kraftsamlar Lunds universitet för att realisera ProNano – en pilotproduktionsanläggning för nanoteknikprototyper. Universitetet har tillsammans med Region Skåne och RISE, statens ägarbolag för industriforskningsinstitut, tagit fram ett så kallat White paper som tydliggör satsningen. – En satsning på industrialisering av nanomaterial i just Lund ter sig naturligt eftersom man just här lyckats ko

Kan du berätta lite om ditt forskningsområde?Jag forskar på sjukdomar och tillstånd i höftleden som drabbar barn men även kan ge smärta och artros i vuxen ålder. Ett exempel på en sådan sjukdom är höftledsdysplasi, vilket innebär att ledskålen i höftleden inte täcker höftkulan tillräckligt. Höftdysplasi förekommer hos 0.5-1% av nyfödda barn i Sverige och upptäcks nästan alltid på BB.

Vi har levt med coronapandemin under lång tid, både i Sverige och internationellt. I ett nytt samverkansprojekt vill forskare med hjälp av AI-metoder, register- och mobildata utveckla och utvärdera applikationer som ska kunna användas för att upptäcka och bekämpa pandemier i framtiden. – Det kan låta lite klyschigt att säga att det är ett tvärvetenskapligt projekt, eftersom det ibland kan bli en p
