With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year as a result of warmer climate and changing agricultural landscape, new research shows. – The risk is that we will lose additional bumblebee species and have reduced pollination of crops and wild plants, says researcher Maria Blasi Rome

Who are you – a separator or an integrator? Mobiles and laptops have created a working life where it is possible to work anytime and anywhere. In a major study, work environment researchers have identified how seven different personality types set boundaries – or not – between work and free time.

What happened to the generation that experienced the Jasmine revolution in Tunisia as young? How are their views different from those who were only small children and do not remember the expectations of more freedom and bread? Studies in focus groups representing both Generation Z and Millennials in the region give unexpected answers but still hold some optimism for further democratisation. Sarah

Yulia Vakulenko grew up in a small Russian town north of the Arctic Circle, today she works at Lund University. When Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, her world was turned upside down.

Tidigare har det varit vanligt att utföra analyser på arkeologiska platser efter det att utgrävningarna har avslutats och täckts över med jord igen. Men med en revolutionerande utveckling av digitala tekniker kan vi idag identifiera arkeologisk information som tidigare inte har kunnat ses med blotta ögat. – I samma ögonblick som jag gräver så förstör jag. Det som blir kvar är det som arkeologen do

Under två dagar i september samlades beslutsfattare, forskare, näringsliv och engagerad allmänhet i Lund för att tala om Europas framtid. Diskussionerna om säkerhet, självständighet och EU:s roll i världen visade att de stora frågorna är gemensamma - men att svaren sällan är givna. Det finns platser där Europas framtid känns lite mer närvarande än vanligt. Den 23 och 24 september 2025 var Lund en
