Jakob Skovgaard, Åsa Knaggård and Roger Hildingsson have received funding from the Research Council Formas for the project "Putting a price on carbon emissions: what makes states adopt carbon pricing policies?". The project will answer the question which factors influence states to adopt carbon pricing policies (carbon taxes and emissions trading systems), by mapping the states and sub- and supran

Peace-building, mediation and justice issues are on the agenda for Karin Aggestam who holds the prestigious Pufendorf chair, which provides the holder the opportunity to devote most of her time to research. – The chair is a research position but I have made sure to retain some teaching. Interaction with the students is very rewarding, says Karin Aggestam to the magazine LUM, Lund University Magazi

A group of researchers active at NanoLund have made the first iron-based molecule capable of emitting light. This could contribute to the development of affordable and environmentally friendly materials for e.g. solar cells, light sources and displays.Through advanced molecular design, the Lund researchers have now successfully manipulated the electronic properties of iron-based molecules so that

The University is now taking the next step towards a more secure IT environment. To protect ourselves against today's increased threats, secure passwords alone are not enough; we also need strong authentication to log in to our IT services. According to a Vice-Chancellor’s decision on 16 January this year, strong authentication is to be used for the shared IT services at Lund University. Strong au

As it is difficult to predict which pollinators may survive in a future climate or which pollinators will be needed to pollinate future crops, it is important to preserve a diversity of pollinators.
