As only the second team ever, the LU team made it to the semifinals and finished sixth in this year's John Molson MBA International Case Competition – the largest case competition of its kind. What happens when four students, inexperienced in case solving, come together with their teacher and coach and in a very short time train intensely with the goal to win the world's largest case competition o

Dark excitons are material excitations not visible under light illumination. Some acquire intrinsic momentum and become inherently mobile, which can be exploited in charge transport applications. Studying the properties of such excitons via spectroscopy is extremely challenging due to their dark nature. “Although the intrinsic mobility of dark excitons may be suitable for charge transport in futur

In order to be able to prescribe the appropriate dose of physical activity to patients, healthcare professionals need to consider a range of individual factors. There is a need to facilitate the assessment of aerobic capacity i. e. maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max), as well as to calculate the intensity of training according to the WHO recommendations for physical activity. Now, researchers

When Quick Bites for Researchers launched in spring 2025, it began as an experiment — an attempt to open up a new and informal channel between researchers and the library’s expertise. One year on, librarians Fredrik Larsson and Anja Zimmerman can look back at an initiative that not only survived its first year, but is now ramping up.“We wanted to find a simple, low-threshold way to support researc

A lab where you can “craft” new materials on the atomic level, bringing together cross-disciplinary scientists to produce nanomaterials and semiconductor components. A neighborhood with major research infrastructures, complementary to each other. And most important: an open environment where academia, industry, and society can meet and collaborate, finding solutions for a sustainable world. Intrig

Lund University researcher Wenqian Xu will investigate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in home care and the risks associated with its implementation, together with colleagues from Estonia, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The project, called AMICA, has been granted SEK 14,9 million from NordForsk, along with an additional SEK 1.6 million from the Estonian Research Council. It is one of se

Scientists all over the world agree: the earth is getting hotter and hotter and extreme weather such as heat waves or prolonged droughts create a greater risk of forest fires. In a new photographic exhibition in the Pufendorf Institute's garden in Lund, visitors could take part of powerful photographs of how people, animals and communities are affected by forest fires. The fire season is getting l

A new PhD thesis by Bernard Ekumah examines why agricultural development in Ghana continues to generate uneven and contradictory outcomes, especially for smallholder farmers. It argues that these outcomes are not primarily the result of isolated failures of policy design or implementation. Rather, they arise from structural contradictions embedded in the internal logic of Ghana’s neo-liberal agrar

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation. In short, the solution is t

That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in a environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are better than researchers had expected. This is shown in a new study by Anna Stubbendorff at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School. The EAT–Lancet diet is a global dietary guideline deve

This Regional Outlook focuses on the 2024 Jordanian parliamentary elections, their political consequences, and how the elections were affected by the War on Gaza. Earlier this fall, on September 10th, almost 1.5 million Jordanians (31% of eligible voters) cast their ballots to elect the country’s 20th parliament. The election’s major victor was the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, the

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

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis
