What makes a university a university? The simple answer would be that the institution hosts teaching and research. Yet a university is so much more than that; it might be easiest to capture the essence of the universe that is a university by summarising the year that has just ended. It is a razor sharp, teeming, testing, reflective universe that pushes boundaries in disruptive, eloquent and powerf

For its fourth edition of All My Relations, the Ecocamp transforms into a nomadic experience. This year, we embrace movement—not just as a physical act, but as a metaphor for existence itself. Walking, travelling, and traversing landscapes will be central to our practice, fostering new connections on the move and reflecting on migration, transition, and relational encounters.

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water. Focusing on Lake Bolmen, researchers, public authorities and local organisations are now joining forces in a research project to find methods tha

Cancer cells are the ultimate sugar addicts, gobbling up glucose to fuel their growth and spread. What if we could starve them of their favorite food? A recent study in Blood Advances by Lund University researchers describes a new method to combat leukemia by disrupting the energy-making machinery of cancer cells, cutting off their dual energy supply. Despite advancements in treatment, acute myelo

Vad innebär det att få diagnosen adhd och hur kan vi som samhälle bli bättre på att stötta dem och andra sårbara barn och unga? Pia Tallberg, specialist i neuropsykologi som precis doktorerat vid Lunds universitet, har i sin forskning undersökt hur barn med adhd utvecklas över tid. För några veckor sedan disputerade Pia Tallberg med en avhandling där hon undersökt hur kognitiva funktioner (som rör

Steget är ofta långt från lärarutbildningen till färdig lärare som undervisar på grundskolan ­eller gymnasiet. Forskarskolan ROCIT som startade för två år sedan vill hitta modeller som kan minska avståndet. – En av mina drömmar är att det ska finnas lärare som jobbar halvtid ute på skolor och halvtid med undervisning på lärarutbildningen. Forskarskolan ROCIT kan vara ett steg på vägen dit, säger p
