In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López. Colombia's rainforest is part of the Amazon and i
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
What is the workshop about?Wavefunction methods, including multiconfigurational theory, are well-established techniques for electronic structure calculations of both ground and excited states in chemistry and molecular spectroscopy. However, these methods have been seldom applied in the context of solid-state systems due to their computationally intensive nature and the requirement for additional

News report,TV4 News, 28 September 2025Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way fo
