A new app will make it easier for people on sick leave due to anxiety and depression to get back to work. In the project mWorks, Professor Ulrika Bejerholm and her research colleagues focus on what strengths, abilities and new strategies can help people on sick leave successfully transition back to working life. The research team wishes to move away from the current focus on diagnosis and disabili

Academic misconduct has increased with about 200% during the past covid years. As a precaution Lund University has started a project to prevent deception and misleading in examination, whether it’s unauthorized cooperation, plagiarism, or non-allowed aids. In every study environment there is a unique culture, with boundaries to what is considered acceptable and unacceptable by the students themsel
