“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,” says Peter Svensson, senior lecturer in Business Administration at the School of Economic

Arkeologen Greer Jarrett har seglat som en viking under tre års tid. Nu kan han visa att vikingarna seglade längre bort från Skandinavien, och tog rutter längre ut från land, än man tidigare trott var möjligt. I sin senaste studie har han hittat spår av ett decentraliserat nätverk av hamnar, belägna på öar och halvöar, som troligen spelade en central roll för vikingatidens handel och resor. Men Gr

For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt

How should we collaborate on a national strategy for semiconductors? The answer could be closer than we think. After the panel discussion during “Politics Week” in Almedalen, Lund University is now taking the first step towards establishing a national competence center for semiconductors. The shortage of semiconductors is a global challenge that requires quick solutions. During the recent  Almedal

How will the VAT reduction affect consumers, according to Professor Emeritus Lars Jonung? The government and Sverigedemokraterna want to halve food VAT, cutting it from twelve to six percent in April next year. In a recent segment on Swedish Radio, Lars Jonung, Professor Emeritus of Economics at LUSEM (the Lund University School of Economics and Management), was interviewed about his reaction to t

Hur vi känner inför naturen påverkar vilka trädgårdsinsatser vi väljer och hur mycket de faktiskt hjälper pollinatörer. I en ny studie från Lunds universitet blir sambandet extra tydligt mot bakgrund av samhällets omfattande urbanisering, där både gröna ytor och människors praktiska naturkontakt minskar. Forskarna visar också att trädgårdar blir mest värdefulla när långlivade planteringar priorite

En forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet har upptäckt en mekanism som hjälper akut myeloisk leukemi-celler att undgå kroppens immunförsvar. Genom att utveckla en antikropp som blockerar mekanismen kunde forskarna återställa immunförsvarets förmåga att döda cancercellerna i laboratorieförsök och i möss. Upptäckten publiceras i Nature Cancer. Studien i korthet:I studien visas hur en nyupptäckt mekanism

Många hävdar att vi människor gärna förmänskligar djurs beteenden. Men hur är det egentligen med skrattet – är det något unikt för människan? Kognitionsforskaren Peter Gärdenfors förklarar varför vi ofta missar när papegojan brister ut i skratt och varför slapstick är en skämtform som både människor och djur uppskattar. – Aristoteles menade att det bara var människan som skrattar, men han hade fel

In the future, our clothes will contain a tag that we can scan to access information. This will allow us to see how the garments were produced, where we can have them repaired, and how they can be recycled. Perhaps we will even be able to see who has previously worn the garment or be given the opportunity to rent it out. This spring, an innovation project was launched in which students at Campus H

It is half past three in the morning on one of the last nights of October. Storm Babet is raging and most people are trying to sleep through the sound of the wind, but coastal researchers at LTH are wide awake.
