Each year, around 350 children in Sweden are diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to progress in research and treatment, six out of seven children today survive. But unlike cancer in adults, we don't know what causes most childhood cancers to develop. This spring Barncancerfonden, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, awarded SEK 64 million to 29 researchers across the country. The funding includes po
Three Lund University research projects have been selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) 2026 list, which highlights Swedish research with the potential to benefit society. Previously known colloquially in Sweden as the "100 list" and published annually between 2019 and 2024, IVA's list returns in 2026 in a renewed and more selective form, highlighting around 30 ongoi
It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

Quantum. The word is appearing more and more frequently in discussions about future technologies, security, medicine and computing. At the same time, the field is often perceived as both abstract and difficult to understand. But what exactly is quantum physics, and why is there so much interest in it right now? “Quantum physics was developed to describe the very smallest building blocks of the uni

Swapping concrete and asphalt for trees, ponds and green roofs is an example of how cities can be adapted to cope with heavy rain and climate change. But time is running out. For nature-based solutions to have a global impact, we need to act fast, according to researchers. A late summer’s day in August 2014, 100 mm of rain fell over the course of a 24-hour period in the Sofielund area in Malmö. Ba

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at Lund University makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at LU's School of Av

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

How do birds avoid collision when flying in dense foliage and other cramped environments with many obstacles? And what does flying in such complex environments entail for the birds? These were the questions Per Henningsson of Lund University in Sweden pondered before engaging the help of the family’s own pet budgie to get some answers.
