With funding of up to 150,000 SEK available per project, the Call is designed to allow researchers to explore early-stage ideas. Researchers and doctoral students at Lund University will soon have a new opportunity for funding to support activities outside existing research projects that can play a crucial role in the transition to a sustainable society. The aim is to give researchers the opportun

When in life we gain weight can have a significant impact on our health many years later. In a study involving over 600,000 people, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have investigated how changes in weight between the ages of 17 and 60 are linked to the risk of dying from various diseases. The results show a clear pattern: weight gain early in adulthood has the greatest impact. It has long

“English is like a membrane between us and reality”. The quote comes from a teacher at a Swedish higher education institution and describes their experience of teaching Swedish students in English. “Today, there are often no educational reasons why a particular course in the first-cycle is taught in English,” argues Peter Svensson, senior lecturer in Business Administration at Lund University Scho

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

What obstacles stand in the way of user-centred working, and what is needed to succeed? Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach. Carbon removal, also known as “negative emissions”, is the process

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. "Empowerment of vulnerable groups is unlikely to arise through interventions from climate adaptation projects only. Yet, often these projects are seen as drivers for social change", says Stephen Woroniecki, PHD-candidate at LUCSUS.  He says that, in a warming and increasingly unequal world, more and more people are on

CASE researchers Björn Slaug and Susanne Iwarsson have shown that their instrument for assessing accessibility in housing for the elderly also works in Japan - even though it was originally developed according to Swedish conditions.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New Lund students are generally younger and have better educated parents than the average Swedish student. This emerges from the figures in a new LU report. Despite a series of initiatives to attract more students from non-academic backgrounds in recent decades, there is little progress. Now a major regional approach
