Innovation and successful higher education institutions go hand in hand. It would be difficult to name a well-renowned university that is not also strong on innovation issues. At Lund University, we have been working on innovation for a long time and in a variety of ways, not least in terms of research results that in turn have resulted in start-up companies. Many of these companies have also bene

In mid-January, protesters and police clashed in the village of Lützerath in Germany after the village was occupied for a long time in an attempt to prevent the extension of a large open-pit coal mine that will swallow the village. The occupation is just one example of the increasingly widespread struggle to defend the environment and prevent greenhouse gas emissions, according to LUCSUS researche

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. RQ20, the new major research quality evaluation, is underway! It is based on self-evaluations and will involve around 5 000 members of staff. In contrast to the last time, in 2008, there is no extra money for the fields of research that come out best. There will be no grades or gold stars. “However, the evaluation wil

Textile – a growing sustainability challengeWe are buying more clothes than ever before, but there is still no efficient system to close the material loop.

Huntington’s disease is hereditary, genetic and usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50. In Sweden, around 1,000 people have the diagnosis and several thousand live with the risk of getting the disease. Even more people have a connection to the disease as its symptoms also affect those close to the patient to a high degree. The disease leads to premature death and there are no treatments that

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Universitetsvärldens meriteringssystem främjar kvantitet snarare än meningsfull forskning. Dessutom behöver kunskapen nå ut bättre än idag. Det menar Ekonomihögskolans forskare Mats Alvesson och Roland Paulsen i en ny bok. Ett ofta återkommande uttalande från forskare är att ”mer forskning behövs”. Men nu kommer en

Men många forskare har kritiserat trädplantering som en problematisk metod, som istället riskerar att ta fokus från att vi drastiskt måste minska utsläppen om vi ska klara klimatet.

På samma sätt som viruset hittade och förvärrade oupptäckta svagheter i mänskliga kroppar så har pandemin hittat och avslöjat svagheter i länders politik och samhällsstrukturer.

Personer med ursprung i Mellanöstern och Afrika är särskilt utsatta för diskriminering och trakasserier i arbetslivet. Denna utsatthet kan leda till minoritetsstress, vilket i sin tur riskerar att orsaka långvarig psykisk ohälsa. Detta menar Martin Wolgast och Sima Nurali Wolgast, psykologiforskare vid Lunds universitet, i en ny rapport. Studien, som gjordes på uppdrag av Myndigheten för arbetsmil

Som svenskt lärosäte behöver Lunds universitet se till så att studenter med funktionsnedsättning kommer i jämförbar situation med andra studenter.

I dagarna har EU-parlamentets miljöutskott lämnat ett förslag att grödobaserade biodrivmedel inte ska få räknas som förnybara, vilket skulle påverka bland annat Sveriges strategi att uppnå en fossiloberoende fordonsflotta. Det är bra att EU ser över lagstiftningen kring biodrivmedel, menar två Lundaforskare. Ökad hä
