Second week in September, 6,000 people will attend the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) in Malmö, Sweden. Among the participants are researchers from Lund University and other parts of the world - many of whom are global leaders within AI. “The interest has been very big this year. It is fantastic that we can bring so many leading AI researchers together, both for Lund University and

To most effectively deliver aid to alleviate poverty, you have to know where the people most in need are. In many countries, this is often done with household surveys. But these are usually infrequent and cover limited locations. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have created a step change in how to measure poverty and other human development indicators. Our team has used a type of A

Every year, the Swedish Riksdag organises a research day. This year the theme was “artificial intelligence”. The aim is to give Members of Parliament the opportunity to gain new knowledge and to highlight the value of science for politics, democracy, and parliamentary decision-making. This year, Johan Axhamn, senior lecturer in Business Law here at LUSEM, was the sole representative from Lund Univ

Lund University’s fastest growing online course can have up to a thousand new participants every week. ‘AI, business and the future of work’ is a success story – but behind it lies many hours of hard work. “In total, we have probably spent 8,000 hours preparing and producing the course,” says Anamaria Dutceac Segesten, currently senior lecturer in European Studies and deputy dean of the Joint Facu

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

Statsminister Ulf Kristersson besökte nyligen Marint centrum i Simrishamn. Där fick han bland annat en inblick i universitetets forskning kring artificiella torskrev och invasiva fiskarter. Han betonade forskningens avgörande roll för Östersjöns framtid. Artikeln publicerades ursprungligen den 13 augusti 2025 och finns på naturvetenskapliga fakultetens webbplats.

I ett projekt vid Lunds universitet tränas en AI-modell till att hitta de bröstcancerpatienter som kan avstå ingrepp i armhålan. Modellen analyserar tidigare outnyttjad information i mammografibilder, och ringar med hög träffsäkerhet in den individuella risken för metastaser i armhålan. I en nyligen avslutad studie visar modellen att drygt 40 procent av dagens armhåleingrepp skulle kunna undvikas.

Massutdöendet i slutet av trias för 201 miljoner år sedan orsakades av omfattande vulkanutbrott och ett snabbt varmare klimat när den dåvarande jättekontinenten Pangea började spricka upp. Den globala temperaturen steg med minst 3–4 grader Celsius. En ny studie i Nature Geoscience visar att omfattande skogsbränder härjade på de ormbunkssavanner som bredde ut sig efter skogsdöden – och att ormbunka

I över 60 år har forskare försökt avgöra om växter pollineras mer på dagen eller natten – utan att nå någon tydlig slutsats. Nu visar en stor forskningsöversikt gjord vid Lunds universitet att nattens pollinatörer gör lika stor insats som dagaktiva arter i hela 90 procent av de undersökta fallen.

Världens äldsta kompletta jaktvapen i trä är ”bara” 200 000 år, inte 300 000 som forskarna tidigare trott. Det visar en datering som Lunds universitet medverkat i. Upptäckten innebär att spjuten härstammar från neandertalarna som bedrev en lömsk och sofistikerad bakhållsjakt.

Att låta naturen på egen hand sopa igen spår efter mänsklig framfart, så kallad rewilding, har flera fördelar. Ekosystemens motståndskraft blir bättre, den biologiska mångfalden ökar och samspelet mellan natur och samhälle gynnas. Det visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Rewilding, eller återförvildande, är en metod som bland annat syftar till att återetablera djur- och växtarter som försvun

Thomas Pugh, principal investigator at BECC and researcher at MERGE, is one of the researchers behind a new study that is published in Science. In the study, the researchers compared results from three major modeling approaches that provide information on different aspects of risk on the impact of climate change on forests in the 21st century. Forests harbor enormous biodiversity and are a major c

Wild bees that ingest the neonicotinoid clothianidin when they feed from nectar of rapeseed flowers grown from clothianidin-coated seeds, become lethargic. In addition, strawberries pollinated by these bees become smaller. These are the results of a study conducted by three BECC researchers at Lund University. Wild and managed bees are important providers of pollination services and benefit the pr

Tree-planting has been widely seen as an effective way of binding carbon as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. But now, BECC researcher Louise C Andresen among others, are warning that forests on nutrient-poor land won’t be an additional carbon sink in the long term. As forests age, their uptake of CO2 declines and, each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon bei

China has suffered an extreme heat wave this summer and the Yangtze River has been completely dried up in parts.

A new study led by Lund University with researchers at BECC shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside - even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of
