Jesica López wins the Agenda 2030 Award for her research on the endangered Amazon rainforest. Carbon capture, end-of-life care and death cafés are also recognised in this year's edition. When the Agenda 2030 Graduate School at Lund University had to choose this year's winner of the Agenda 2030 Award, the steering board was faced with a difficult choice between many qualified entries. This year's a
For those of you that maybe did not know, WCMM Lund has a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) composed of four internationally recognized experts. Two of them know the WCMM Centre quite well by now and the other two are just newly recruited. The role of the WCMM SAB is to provide strategic guidance and direction the WCMM Centre regarding scientific aspects, strategic directions and provides recommenda

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Natural solutions to combat climate change are perceived as beneficial to both nature and people simultaneously. But claims that natural solutions also bring about empowerment, gender equality and inclusion are problematic, especially when issues of power, agency and marginalisation are ignored. This is according to n

Although not yet decided, we have good reasons to believe that the funding of the 43 Strategic Research Areas (SRAs) including BECC will continue. As a result, we are now preparing for the long-term future, including a new internal structure where Challenged Themes replace the former Clusters with the aim to increase the integration between disciplines. At the BECC 2015 annual meeting, we discusse

How planets form is a question that has long vexed the world's astronomers. In recent years, the so-called pebble theory - where tiny gravel particles are sucked together - has gained ground. A new paper shows that ice plays a crucial role in allowing these celestial bodies to reach a certain size where they can continue to grow to planetary size. Just over 4.6 billion years ago, our planetary sys

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th

New research suggests that green growth climate mitigation policies are not sufficient for reaching the ambitious targets of the Paris Agreement, to limit global warming to well below 2°C by the end of the century. Green growth policies dominate the climate change mitigation discourse, but how much can they contribute
PhD candidate Heraclitos Muhire's research focuses on politicians leaving politics and joining private companies. Movements between business and politics are almost uncontrolled, and the conflicts and consequences are understudied. Around the 2014 elections, Heraclitos Muhire noticed a potential conflict of interest as the outgoing government moved into high-level positions in the same sectors whe

Bioenergy plays a vital role in the transition to a fossil-free society. However, the "unused" agricultural land, so-called marginal land, deemed suitable for bioenergy cultivation in southern Sweden is practically nonexistent, according to a new study from Lund University. Much of the land is already in use, for example, for horse grazing. "Our study shows that the potential for bioenergy product

Most patients with mycosis fungoides, a rare form of lymphoma, live for years with a relatively mild disease. But in some cases it develops into a more serious condition. Angelica Johansson has identified biological changes that may help explain why the disease progresses in about a quarter of patients. Her work also shows that patients report unexpectedly high quality despite living with a chroni

A changing climate means that citizens will have to take more action to safeguard their lives and property from extreme weather events. At the same time, there are great differences in people’s capacities and resources to do so. In a new PhD dissertation from LUCSUS, researcher Ebba Brink asserts that it is about time
