It has been a year since an extensive Research and Innovation Bill was introduced. The Ministry of Education, research funding bodies and higher education institutions are still busy converting it and its initiatives into action. Perhaps this is why the autumn’s budget bill now feels a little thin on ideas and forward-thinking in those parts relating to our sector. In addition, the Government has

Kriget i Gaza har skapat konflikter på universitet i Sverige och i andra länder. Motsättningarna mellan demonstranter och universitetsledningar och mellan grupper av anställda lär ta tid att överbrygga. Vi har träffat både LU:s rektor och demonstranter från tältlägret i Lundagård. I LUM ger de sin syn på vägen framåt. Vi har också intervjuat Lundaforskare med vitt skilda specialiteter och frågat h

Vid bedömning av vetenskaplig oredlighet ska mer fokus sättas på den institutionella miljön och mindre på den enskilda forskaren. Likaså ska visselblåsarnas skydd förstärkas. Det är några nyheter i EU:s reviderade kodex för forskningens integritet som har tagits fram under ledning av LU-professorn Göran Hermerén. EU-kommissionen lanserar den nu som ett riktmärke för dem som söker anslag från Horiz

Den unge journalisten hade mer än hundra timmar intervjuer med den förre sovjetiske spionchefen. Det skulle bli en memoarbok men tiden sprang iväg och plötsligt var marknaden mättad på sovjetkommunistiska bekännelser. Tjugo år senare har vinden vänt. Så det blir en bok, men inga memoarer – för nu är det inte en ung journalist utan en medelålders historieforskare som håller i pennan. Före detta hög

Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance. This according to doctoral student John Falk, who is currently working on his dissertation about cloud droplet and ice particle formation in clou

Vävnadsläkning är ett potentiellt nytt mål i behandlingen av hjärtkärlsjukdom hos personer med typ 2-diabetes. Det visar ny forskning från Lunds universitet. Hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige, och diabetes innebär ökad risk att drabbas. För en person med typ 2-diabetes är sannolikheten att drabbas av en stroke eller en hjärtinfarkt flera gånger högre jämfört med den som i

Orsakerna bakom havandeskapsförgiftning är komplexa och inte helt kartlagda. En viktig pusselbit är dock luften som de blivande mammorna andas. En ny studie visar att halten av luftföroreningar påverkar moderkakan hos kvinnor med havandeskapsförgiftning.

Trots skärpta straff och ökade resurser till rättsväsendet visar forskningen inga tecken på att detta leder till minskad kriminalitet. – Vi vill problematisera att straff skulle vara det bästa alternativet, säger Tova Bennet, straffrättsforskare vid Lunds universitet. De senaste femton åren har hårdare straff blivit ett populärt verktyg i den svenska kriminalpolitiken. Det är alltså inte endast un

An international research project led from Lund University is now awarded 33 million SEK by the European Innovation Council, EIC Pathfinder. The idea behind the project is to use drugs to reprogram cancer cells into immune cells, in order to increase the body's natural anti-tumor response and fight cancer. And it is small molecules that will do the work. The research project that has received fund

India is currently the fastest growing economy in the world, representing a market of 1.25 billion people, and an emerging global power. Since the late 1990s India has slowly shifted its foreign policy priorities in order to further its emergence as a prominent actor in global affairs. This shift was not easy after decades of great reluctance to act internationally. India is now increasingly pursu

An extraordinary event has taken place this summer in a small, overlooked village north of Uppsala, blending the rich history of Swedish religious movements with cutting-edge quantum research. The village of Mehedeby, home to fewer than 600 residents, recently hosted a remarkable science conference titled "Quantum Redemption" in its 125-year-old Free Church. The conference, organized by Lund Unive
