Meet some of the participants on this year's conference for students and researchers, from all around Sweden and abroad. Mariam Kirvalidze, PhD student, Karolinska institutet:– I look forward to learning about what others are doing. So I try to meet others from other universities in other parts of the country, whom I don't otherwise meet. In a workshop you are forced to do that, and that's good.Wh

The HLF gene is necessary for maintaining our blood stem cells in a resting state, which is crucial for ensuring normal blood production. This has been shown by a new research study from Lund University in Sweden published in Cell Reports. “The study confirms several previous studies that show the HLF gene’s significance in blood formation”, says Mattias Magnusson who led the new study. The result

A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research study now published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Na

The strategic research areas (SRAS) host half-day workshops that discuss sustainability across research environments at Lund University. After nine engaging workshops, three more workshops are planned on topics of equality in research environments, research impact of multidisciplinary collaborations, and writing policy briefs. “Not everyone sees their research as relevant to sustainability,” says

With the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance, there is a growing need for new treatment strategies against life threatening bacterial infections. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen may have identified such an alternative treatment for bacterial meningitis, a serious infection that can lead to sepsis. The study is published in Nature Communications. See

Past cycles of climate change, along with human exploitation, have led to only small and isolated stocks of Atlantic walrus remaining. The current population is at high risk of the same issues affecting them severely, according to a new study led by Lund University in Sweden. Today, the last remaining stocks of Atlantic walrus are more at danger than ever, due to a combination of Arctic warming an

Archaeologists at Lund University in Sweden have found carbonised germinated grains showing that malt was produced for beer brewing as early as the Iron Age in the Nordic region. The findings made in Uppåkra in southern Sweden indicate a large-scale production of beer, possibly for feasting and trade. “We found carbonised malt in an area with low-temperature ovens located in a separate part of the

For the next four years, Lund University will coordinate a new exchange programme with India. Over 100 Indian scholarship recipients will get the chance to study or do research in Europe. Lund University hopes that many of them will choose Lund as their destination. “We are pleased that the European Commission has put its trust in us again. We can now further develop the relationships we have buil

Jerker Lessing is a doctoral student at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and has a burning interest in the subject of industrialised construction. Although his academic career is still in its early stages, he has already led two courses at Stanford University, California. And now, at the end of March, his latest students will visit Lund University to see how far Sweden has come in the field. Jerke

Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour

Ny forskning från Lunds universitet visar hur offentliga organisationer kan tillämpa vissa principer i sin kommunikation för att stärka förtroende för myndigheter. Kommunikation är grunden för en organisations existens. Organisationer manifesteras också genom byggnader, maskiner och viktiga papper. Men slutar medarbetare och chefer att kommunicera med varandra och omvärlden upphör organisationen.U

Researchers from institutions including Lund University have taken a step closer to producing solar fuel using artificial photosynthesis. In a new study, they have successfully tracked the electrons’ rapid transit through a light-converting molecule. The ultimate aim of the present study is to find a way to make fuel from water using sunlight. This is what photosynthesis does all the time – plants

Millions of years of evolutionary fine-tuning have made dolphins phenomenally good at using echolocation to orient themselves, find food and communicate with one another. But how do they actually do it? New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that they emit two intertwined ultrasound beam components at different frequencies – and with slightly different timing. This new knowledge brings
