What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie

Researchers at Lund University have previously shown that type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes can be divided into five subgroups, and that there are genetic differences between the four subgroups relating to type 2 diabetes. A research collaboration between Sweden and India now highlights similarities and differences between patient groups in India and Europe. The knowledge can be used to improve

Nine projects have been granted funding through the Sustainability Fund and the call for applications concerning Sustainable Idea Exploration. The aim of the call is to take early ideas from research to innovation that can make a difference to society. The funded projects each receive a maximum of SEK 150,000 to develop the innovative potential of their ideas. Twenty applications were submitted in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. This year’s Association of American Geographers’ conference got me thinking about maps. I’ve been to a fair few geography conferences but, funny enough, have never really come across very many maps. Or, rather, have given them very little thought. This year, wherever I turned there they were. And they were truly, deep

A couple of weeks have passed since our symposium: Conducting research in interdisciplinary teams. On the 21 of October, we had the great pleasure of welcoming both Martin Cloonan and Britta Padberg, two of our external evaluators, back to Lund. And both were kind enough to speak at the Symposium. Martin Cloonan led with taking the audience back to May 2024 and the work the external evaluators did

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

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to

New construction is a time-consuming process. It always is, even when building a private house. And if you are building premises for a complex future organisation, it takes even longer. The University has been working on establishing operations in Science Village for many years and is still only on step 2 of the 9 steps in the building process. (The building process at Lund University is described

How much environmental impact does your hair removal have? With the method LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) it’s possible to find out. Sustainability researchers from Lund, United Kingdom and Italy put the shaving habits to a test when they tried to find answer to which method has the least environmental impact. That is, if you don't consider the option of not removing it at all. Researchers Tullia Jac

Last week, six intrepid retail researchers from the Centre for Retail Research at Lund University travelled to London to observe the latest retail trends. Here, we summarise the most important trends and what the Swedish retail industry can learn from what is happening in London. Trend #1: Interesting use of space London is a densely populated city, which means they make use of all available space

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al
