After a long economic crisis, Lebanon is on the brink of ruin. The currency has lost much in value and people's savings have been eaten up. The crisis in the country is also taking place at the political and social level. Despite this, the corrupt elite continues to rule the country, without being punished for their wrongdoings. Rola el-Husseini is a researcher at CMES and Department of Political

Forests are important for climate change mitigation, both as raw material for biofuels and for carbon storage. At the same time, forests are under pressure from a changing climate and more intensive forestry. A new thesis by Klas Lucander at Lund University, also member of BECC, shows the possible consequences for forests of fertilisation, and how this could lead to eutrophication and acidificatio

Urban Transition Öresund: Developer dialogue - a tool for greener buildings How can a city encourage energy efficiency in new buildings? A study within the Urban Transition Öresund shows that local demands on building developers give good results. Combined with dialogue and knowledge sharing, the results are even better. Energy efficiency in new buildings is of high priority for most local governm

He is our least known celebrity – a man of power who took the initiative for Lund University and was literally ‘prepared for both’. The 17th century bishop Peder Winstrup is an exciting historical person – and corpse – that will now be studied in a major interdisciplinary project. For many years, a beautiful coffin has stood in the crypt of the Cathedral. In it lies 17th century bishop Peder Winst

There is a constant war between bacteria and their viruses, bacteriophages, where both try to outsmart each other. An international study led by Lund University provided an important missing bit to the puzzle of how the bacteria defend themselves against phages. This is an important stepping stone towards developing effective phage-based therapies to be used as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacte

A new global study shows that in human-disturbed regions, many native plant species are absent from their natural habitats, contributing to the missing so called “dark diversity”. Natural vegetation often lacks many species that could potentially be present, especially in regions heavily affected by human activities, according to a new study coordinated by researchers at the University of Tartu an
