Dear students and colleagues, Lund University is a place for objectivity, open conversation and the gratifying quest for knowledge. We are an organisation with a unique task – to produce, discuss and communicate knowledge. We are an organisation of, and for, experts. I myself am an expert on insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. To be frank, that is pretty niche and nerdy. Yet here, at Lun

When, how and if the national call for profile areas will take place is still not clear. The budget bill provided no clear answers. On 22 November, the Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions arranged a seminar called “Sharing experiences around the higher education institutions’ work on profile areas,” in which most universities participated. No one had any more information about the

That all students should learn about sustainability at some point during their education is something the Swedish Council for Higher Education has decided. But how can lecturers include sustainability in their teaching – without tying themselves in knots in what is often a hectic schedule? That was just one of the questions addressed in the seminar series Sustainable Teaching & Learning in Higher

A heated discussion under the hashtag Swedengate erupted on social media last spring. Swedes were accused of being strange as they did not invite their children’s friends to eat with them when the family was having dinner. The phenomenon was upsetting and ethnologist Håkan Jönsson was quickly inundated with questions. Are Swedes stingy? Swedengate came about when someone on the news and discussion

A meeting at the kitchen table, with lots of coffee and snus. And a donation of SEK 250 million. That’s what happened when Ingvar Kamprad met LTH’s dean in 1998 to talk about the future of industrial design education at the University. The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

The ground floor of the University Library will be refurbished and preparations will start in the summer. During the renovation, the public section will be emptied and the number of study places will be more than halved. If all goes according to plan, the University Library interior will be both better and more beautiful when all is complete in time for the start of the autumn semester 2024. There

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work. It speaks to what is most important to the University right now and will help it to act much faster as the world changes. Pandemic, war in Europe, fake news, increased polarisation at home and abroad and,

The quest to control the remarkable phenomena of quantum physics is ongoing around the world. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is making the subject even hotter. Lund University is also involved in exploring the unknown – and at times mind-boggling – perspectives of quantum states. Mathieu Gisselbrecht, senior lecturer in Physics, leads the way down the basement corridor of the Laser Centre at F

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

Högst personligt: Christian Dam Nostalgi har blivit ett återkommande tema i samhället. Detta syns tydligt i konsumentkulturen, där varumärken och konsumenter använder det förflutna som en resurs för att skapa värde. Retro-fotbollströjor har blivit trendiga, IKEA återlanserar gamla möbler. Nostalgisk musik och gamla tv-program trendar på TikTok. Dessa exempel från konsumentkulturen antyder att varu
