The ceremonial highlight of the academic year In a solemn ceremony at Lund Cathedral, doctoral students who completed their research studies and successfully defended their theses at Lund University in the past year have their degrees conferred. At the ceremony, degrees are also conferred on the faculties' honorary doctors. Doctors who completed their doctoral studies 50 years ago become jubilee d
An assignment as a note-taker means that you take notes at lectures and seminars, and share these with one or more students who have been approved for learning support. Here you will find information about the assignment and how to register your interest. The note-taking assignmentThe note-taking assignment applies to one or more courses during the current semester.

Purpose: Muda is a Japanese term literally meaning futility, uselessness, idleness, superfluity, waste, wastage or wastefulness. The term was introduced by the Japanese engineer Taiichi Ohno of Toyota Motor Corporation in the 1960s. Therefore, reducing and minimizing Muda is an effective way to increase the operational efficiency and productivity of an organization’s processes. In turn, the techni
An important competitive advantage source for firms in complex, uncertain, and high-velocity environments is their external knowledge-related relationships. Information and communication technologies (ICT) can play an important role in knowledge-intensive processes and flows. Using the dynamic capability and absorptive capability views the paper presents and discusses how ICT can be used to enhanc
A methodology for innovation and analysis in a context of complex problem spaces is presented, introducing the idea of a diversity network. The methodology draws upon a framework which puts ‘complexification’ into systemic practice. Such an application helps individual participants to outline their narratives, create and agree upon categories, and use these to classify their narratives. Clusters o
Seeing through a turbid medium such as fog, mist or clouds is a fascinating idea that would find applications in a large range of fields from research to industry. The main difficulty of this challenging task is related to the complexity of the multiple of optical radiation propagated through an emsemble of scattering particles and/or droplets randomly distributed in a medium. To deal with this ch
Global profiling of protein expression through the cell cycle has revealed subsets of periodically expressed proteins. However, expression levels alone only give a partial view of the biochemical processes determining cellular events. Using a proteome-wide implementation of the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) to study specific cell-cycle phases, we uncover changes of interaction states for mo
The revocation of Broad Institute’s patent EP2771468, marks the latest major development in a series of patent battles over the revolutionary and highly lucrative CRISPR- Cas 9 technology (and other gene editing technologies) in the US and Europe. While this is the first EPO decision in an opposition procedure concerning the Broad patent portfolio, the outcome may have implications for other relat
The electronic systems we find in almost every product today are implemented using integrated circuits (ICs) mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Developing electronic systems is a challenging task due to complexity and miniaturization. A single IC can contain billions of transistors, which are smaller than ever. As a result more Design-for-Test (DfT) features, so called instruments, are embe
In a recent article in TiCS, Lind and Jon-And [1] argued that the sequence memory of animals constitutes a cognitive bottleneck, the ‘sequence bottleneck’, and that mental simulations require faithful representation of sequential information. They therefore concluded that animals cannot perform mental simulations, and that behavioral and neurobiological studies suggesting otherwise are best interp
This book was conceived in the context of a workshop at the Lund University Malmö Theatre Academy, where we used our bodies to create patterns based on prompts such as if the work we do imagines sustainability more in terms of harmony or more in terms of conflict, or how we orient ourselves on a continuum of past, [present] and future. Important to note is that the patterns were ever-changing, not
Welcome to Lund University (LU for short)! We're delighted to welcome students from all over the world to Lund. We know there's a lot to organise when you arrive, so we've put together some top tasks and important information to help you settle in.

The concept of sexual health encompasses many perspectives, such as pleasure, consent, safety and identity, but also physical health in terms of the absence of sexually transmitted diseases. At the Student Health Centre, we understand that sexual health is fundamental to the general health and well-being of students.

While welfare states and associated social policies have been successful in addressing social risks associated with the provision of capitalist growth and increasing their citizens’ wellbeing, they have also contributed to climate emergency and the ecological crisis. We carry out social-policy research of traditional themes such as labour markets, inequality or poverty, but also and particularly
