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

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 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 was presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster by

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

Roach that migrate between different lakes and water courses have larger pupils and better eyesight than roach that stay in one place. The adaptation makes it easier for the red-eyed freshwater migrants to find food in murky waters. This is shown in a large study from Lund University in Sweden. Animals’ eyes, just like those of humans, are a kind of window to the world. Eyesight controls important

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A study by researchers from Sweden and Hungary shows that white, painted stripes on the body protect skin from insect bites. It is the first time researchers have successfully shown that body-painting has this effect. Among indigenous peoples who wear body-paint, the markings thus provide a certain protection against
