Generative AI (GenAI or GAI) tools may have a place in education, but they also present challenges. We are all learning about these issues together, and it is important for teachers to have open conversations with students about using GenAI in their studies. This article contains suggestions for starting and sustaining such discussions with your students. Don’t mention it? Ignoring GenAI and hopin

Mathematics Professor Kalle Åström studies the future of agriculture with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). He develops mathematical models to optimise harvests and contribute to climate-friendly agriculture. Artificial intelligence and agriculture may seem like two different worlds, but not for Kalle Åström. On the contrary, he sees synergies and is keen to bring the two together. The Pro

Learning about climate change and other sustainability challenges can make students feel anxious and stressed, often leaving them overwhelmed and unsure of how to respond or take action. A new toolbox, developed by researchers at Lund University in collaboration with experts in climate change, pedagogy, arts, and child psychology, aims to strengthen students’ resilience and help them transform fee

Engaging students during seminars is a common challenge for higher education teachers. Learning is always the outcome of the students’ activity, and teachers can only facilitate, encourage, hinder or discourage learning (Ambrose et al., 2010). Indeed, a seminar only works if participants are active and come prepared. However, students face different struggles when preparing for seminars. Micol Mie

Extreme weather poses a big threat to birds. Yet there is a lack of both knowledge and methods for measuring its negative effects. In a new study, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified knowledge gaps and propose practical tools for analysing the risks to birds. Extreme weather has become increasingly common worldwide, often in the form of combinations of heat and drought. Thes

On Tuesday, the PhD students who joined SWEAH 2026 met, at Forum Medicum in Lund. They introduced themselves and their research projects, received information about the graduate school, networked and met alumni and PhD students who have been involved with SWEAH for some time. As usual at the graduate school's introductory meetings, a wide range of research projects were presented. This involves co

Dealing with heat is about more than implementing technical solutions such as cold rooms, access to water, green areas and communication systems. Equally, if not more, important is to strengthen social networks, reduce income disparities and eliminate social vulnerability. Sustainability researcher Maryam Nastar comments on the heat wave in Canada and North America based on her research on extreme

That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

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.
