In this seminar, which is co-organised by the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies and the Centre for Advanced Middle Eastern Studies, we will look at some cases of fluid boundaries and intertwined identities, when religious belonging and ethnic identification freely mix, and evolve, and change. We will hear about two groups, in Israel and in Turkey, with intertwined identities. And we will t

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

Earlier this fall, Milda Pucetaite was one of the 400 European researchers to receive an ERC Starting Grant for her project “Tracing single-cell scale chemical signalling between interacting soil fungi". As Milda is a member of BECC, we were curious to know a little bit more about her grant. The ERC Starting Grant is intended for early-career researchers and the only selection criterion is scienti

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th

Our work on Global Dynamic Engagement this year has shown us that in many ways, the University already has an impressive track record of global engagement. At the same time, our international impact is wavering, especially in relation to the number of citations of our publications in top-ranked journals. This development, which we share with many other universities, is worrying as it can make the

The year 2023 was a fantastic year for research at Lund University. The year can be summarised as 1825. In this case, it does not refer to the year 1825 and that our research has stagnated at the level it was then. Here, 1825 refers to four numbers: 1: Number one stands for a Nobel Prize – What a fantastic recognition for the incredible research conducted by Anne L'Huillier.8: Number eight stands

Emissions from our air travel decreased in 2024, compared with the previous year. Air travel accounts for the main part of our emissions from business travel and therefore the total climate impact of our business travel has decreased, even though emissions from car travel have increased.
