Torna Hällestad. Researchers have placed 170 owl nesting boxes included in their multiyear project aiming to find out as much as possible about how tawny owls are affected by living in proximity to humans.

Despite not being part of the winning team in the EU’s enormous culture and innovation push, Lund University regards itself as a clear winner. The preparatory work on the application acted like a beacon and all the faculties joined in to work together and find interdisciplinary innovation and collaboration projects. That engagement now continues. “We have unique values within art and culture, whic

Ingvar Kamprad Design Center, IKDC. Photo: Kennet Ruona 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 t

LU has fine laboratories with advanced equipment. But one RQ20 panel wonders how these are to be used and by whom? PHOTO: Kennet Ruona Recruitment is an area on which the University needs to continue working. "We can certainly become even better in this area", says Freddy Ståhlberg, one of the project managers in the RQ20 research evaluation. The reports from the transverse panels were completed b

“High-income countries, such as the United States, have sharply reduced their use but the gas still accounts for more than 60% of their climate emissions from anaesthetic gases", says Talbot.

A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows

"The voices of the survivors make clear how incredibly fragile a democracy is; how quickly the moral foundations of a society can crumble and make the unthinkable possible." Says Erik Renström, Vice-Chancellor of Lund University.    Ten years’ work has paid off – UNESCO has added the unique archive of 500 in-depth interviews with Holocaust survivors to the Memory of the World Register.

Consumers are demanding cheaper clothing while more are becoming aware and reassessing their consumption: second hand rather than “fast fashion”. The sustainability challenges of clothing companies often have to do with long supply chains – and the consumers’ demands. But together, consumers, businesses and politicians can change the fashion industry, according to Johan Jansson, researcher in busi

Data gathering for European climate research goes on around the clock at the University’s Hyltemossa research station. The tallest of its two masts reaches as high as 150 metres straight up into the sky. Every other week, the station’s staff must climb to the top of the mast to clean two sensors. Recently, intensive work has been conducted on the lower mast to install equipment to study how the em

Marlene Malmström. Photo: Åsa Hansdotter Although patient influence in healthcare has gradually started to increase, the role of the patient's next of kin is still very limited.

The four subtypes (Image: Jacob Vogel) Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals.

On the contrary, leisure travel may increase to compensate for sedentary work in the home, according to transport researcher Lena Winslott Hiselius. This can become a challenge for public transport. There are strong indications that remote working is here to stay, at least in part and in certain workplaces. Lena
