Dear colleagues,Two weeks ago, when it briefly felt like spring was coming, I went for a walk in the Science Village area between MAXIV and ESS. On the walk were the management teams of both LTH and the Faculty of Science, as well as Ola Wendt, head of the Department of Chemistry. There were many conversations about the size of the buildings, about people and things moving between different activi

Application deadlines and competence management plansIt's that time of year when many have just submitted applications to the Swedish Research Council or Formas. Thank you for that! These grants are important to keep the department's finances running smoothly. It's also the time of year when we have to apply for new teaching positions at the faculties. So in every way it is a time to plan for rene

The scientific secrets behind the creation of the XANADU logoBy Emanuel Larsson, researcher at Antigen Presentation, Department of Experimental Medical Science, Lund University.IntroductionA straightforward idea would have been to just create the XANADU logo in a text compiler or graphical text design software. However, we felt that there was a need to incorporate some scientific knowledge into t

2 years · 120 credits The master programme in experimental particle and nuclear physics consists of a number of mandatory and optional courses, and a master project. There is a great freedom in the selection of courses and one can cover both experimental and theoretical aspects of particle and nuclear physics. The master project is typically done inside the division’s experimental projects. Course

A recurring item on the agenda during my first months as Head of the Department of Physics has been and remains the issue of decision-making. At head of department meetings, leadership training, department and divisional management meetings, it is always there.- Don't be afraid to make decisions, they can change, is a recurring advice.And yes, it is true. New decisions can be made and sometimes th
CollaborationWelcome back after the summer! I hope you have had the opportunity to have a proper break from everyday life. The corridors are once again teeming with teachers and students old and new, turning the wheels of knowledge with new insights and discoveries along the way. Even my many series of meetings have started in earnest again...Research and education are always at the center of our

Nobel Prize and research infrastructuresIt is one year since Anne L'Hillier was awarded the Nobel Prize and we continue to celebrate. What impact does Anne's Nobel Prize have on us? This has come up many times over the past year. And another question has also been there: how do we get more Nobel Prizes? But the latter is not the right question. The Nobel Prize is a consequence of a healthy and in
The other physics departmentsAt the end of October, a group of heads of department from different physics departments in the country met at Chalmers to exchange experiences and to create an active network of heads of department. Participating were physics heads from Chalmers, University of Gothenburg, Uppsala, Stockholm and KTH (physics and applied physics), as well as the heads of microelectronic
My first yearI will soon have been Head of the Department of Physics for a full year and it has been an exciting year! Both for the department and for myself in my new role. Reading my first Head of Department letter from the beginning of the year, I realise that at the time I naively thought I would know what the job of Head of Department was like after a year. I've been through the annual cycle

The Year of the Snake - challenges, opportunities and the way forwardJust over a week ago, we entered the Year of the Snake - a time that, according to mythology, can bring uncertainty and chaos. Perhaps the Year of the Snake began earlier, given all that has been happening both here and in the world. We have seen both positive and negative events, and some developments are still unclear. At the s
