What happens when you mix a group of tumor biology researchers with software developers and AI researchers? Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision. But first, they need to find a common language that all professional groups understand. – It's a challen

Malin Espersson has been conducting ongoing research into how municipalities work with gender mainstreaming. The results show a lack of commitment from management and politicians, with a risk that the work will become symbolic rather than contributing to change. The Flexit project, funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, started on March 1, 2023, and is a collaboration between the researcher and

What does it take to implement a complementary currency in a community, and how does it reshape social, technical, and economic dynamics? Juan Ocampo, a PhD graduate from Lund University’s School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) and the Agenda 2030 Graduate School, has spent five years investigating these questions. In his dissertation, Organizing Money: The process of implementing a complement
Hatred towards political opponents can be more polarizing than policy differences – and populism is shaping the erosion of support for Ukraine in the war against Russia. Professor Jonathan Polk and Dr. Alexander Ryan delivered a lecture in December on what divides voters and parties in Europe. What is affective polarization, and why does it matter?

It will be a major challenge for the higher education institutions to satisfy the government’s request for new forms of lifelong learning. We must ascertain what the University can develop and which parts of lifelong learning we are going to focus on. Lifelong learning (3L) has become an increasingly prioritised issue for both companies and organisations. But why has this become such an important

In January, the university director will make a decision on adopting a new remit and organisation for Corporate Communication within the Central Administration. Corporate Communication must be able to meet new needs at no extra cost. In this situation, other activities need to be deprioritised.

In a historic decision, Brazil's Supreme Court has voted down the agricultural lobby's attempt to limit Indigenous People's land rights. Sustainability researcher Torsten Krause is cautiously optimistic about the decision, which he believes is positive for both human rights and biodiversity, but fears that it could lead to increased deforestation and mining in Brazil's neighboring countries. – It

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

As 2025 gets under way, the University, and I dare say the whole higher education sector, has got off to a flying start. The reason for this flying start is, of course, the Research and Innovation Bill that was presented just before Christmas and has since been analysed from all angles. The analysis will continue, as the parts that are still unclear take shape in the Spring Budget or in new direct
