For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI

Many of us have worked more remotely during the pandemic than we ever dreamed of doing. Informatics researcher Saonee Sarker has been studying IT-enabled collaboration and its impact on work-life balance for many years, but mainly with a focus on the IT sector.

Swedish higher education institutions have recently highlighted several problems concerning international students and researchers and their opportunities to enter, stay and work in Sweden. This is not only a considerable concern for individuals, but also affects higher education institutions’ competitiveness and ultimately that of Sweden.

From the Vice-chancellor blog: Free and creative thoughts that can be turned into words or other expressions are the basis of a democratic society. Free and creative thoughts are also the preconditions for renewal. These are my words from a previous blog and after last week’s dark events, when Russia invaded Ukraine, it has become even more important to stress this. We now have an ongoing war in E

The aim of annual leave is to give employees leisure time for rest and recreation; the main principle is therefore that annual leave is to be taken as holiday time. Already early on in the year, annual leave needs to be planned on the basis of the manager’s responsibility for ensuring the function of the organisational unit, and the wishes of the employees. Pursuant to the Annual Leave Act, an emp

From the vice-chancellor blog: Intensive work is being carried out on how we can open doors for Ukraine at the EU and national levels and at Lund University. Here, we are looking at all possibilities to enable us to take in students, academics and researchers who need to leave their country or will need to study or conduct research in their homeland in the future.

Biologisk bekämpning kan användas för att minska mängden farliga kemikalier i jordbruket. Skadedjurs naturliga fiender och predatorer används istället för traditionella bekämpningsmedel för att få bukt med skadedjuren i odlingarna. Men ny forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att förändringar i jordbruket och landskapets utformning kan ha oväntade konsekvenser för skadedjuren och deras naturliga f

Hur kan man bäst arbeta över kommun- och sektorsgränser för att stötta klimatanpassning genom naturbaserade lösningar på landsbygden? Det är en av flera frågor som Policylabb Storkriket, ett Formasfinansierat innovationsprojekt, ska ge svar på.

Bioenergi spelar en viktig roll i omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Men den ”outnyttjade” jordbruksmark, så kallad marginalmark, som är lämplig för att odla bioenergi på i södra Sverige finns i praktiken inte, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Marken är till stor del redan upptagen av exempelvis hästhållning. – Vår studie visar att potentialen för bioenergiproduktion på margina

Forskning visar att gröna och artrika utemiljöer kring skolor och förskolor främjar barns välbefinnande och lärande. Trots det har vi relativt ont om natur på svenska skolgårdar. Varför är det så – och vad kan göras annorlunda för att skapa mer natur på skolgårdar? För att diskutera detta bjöd LU Land in till ett digitalt seminarium med tre experter på området. Här följer en sammanfattning av semi

Han far in som ett yrväder med cykelhjälm på hjässan, besvarar mejl med enkla stavelser och ställer initierade frågor på möten samtidigt som han lyckas arbeta vid datorn.
