Donald Trump’s trade wars have dominated the news cycle for quite some time. According to economist Fredrik NG Andersson, we risk becoming blind if we only focus on the short term. What is happening is not just about immediate effects but about the dawn of a new global order and the end of the world order that emerged in the 1990s after the Cold War. The trade wars have clearly affected the global

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Den unge journalisten hade mer än hundra timmar intervjuer med den förre sovjetiske spionchefen. Det skulle bli en memoarbok men tiden sprang iväg och plötsligt var marknaden mättad på sovjetkommunistiska bekännelser. Tjugo år senare har vinden vänt. Så det blir en bok, men inga memoarer – för nu är det inte en ung

Doctoral students living on relatively low external scholarships should get terms of employment that are more equal to those on doctoral studentships. This is the hope of the University’s Education Board, which has approved the faculties topping up the income of doctoral students on scholarships. However, the Faculty

Världsmästerskapet i fotboll i Qatar 2022 är omstritt och landet gör allt för att visa upp sig från sin bästa sida, även kallat sportswashing. Att använda sport för att marknadsföra sitt land har historiskt sett varit en bra taktik för att dämpa kritik – hejaropen under evenemanget får oss att glömma kritiken innan. Det säger etnologen Katarzyna Herd, Lunds universitet. 2010 tilldelade Fifa Qatar

I den nya långtidsstudien från Lunds universitet ingår barn från flera länder. Studien är av observationstyp och påvisar därför inte orsakssamband, men den är den hittills mest omfattande i sitt slag. Resultaten presentera

Simpler diagnosis using a smell test, mapping brain circuits behind symptoms linked to Parkinson’s, and significant funding for advanced gene therapies. And a recently completed clinical trial with promising results for stem cell-based transplantation in Parkinson’s patients. These are five examples from the strategic research area MultiPark over the past year. MultiPark conducts multidisciplinary
Lund, Sweden – November 10, 2025 Researchers from Uzbekistan's General Prosecutor's Office, leading academic institutions, and civil society organizations convened at Lund University to present their research on anti-corruption measures and migration governance under the MOCCA (Multilevel Orders of Corruption in Central Asia) and the MARS (Non-Western Migration Regimes in a Global Perspective) res

Can innovation strengthen research? Heiner Linke, professor of nanophysics and member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, has done exactly that by combining research and innovation. His own attitude towards utilisation and innovation has evolved from a sense of duty to passion: “Now I think it's genuinely exciting.” Do you see increasing integration of innovation within research?“Twenty year
On January 29, the first seminar of the CFE Spring Seminar Series was held by Joakim Zander (Senior Lecturer at the Department of Business Law and Deputy Director of CFE). He presented his thoughts on the European Union’s constitutional future, drawing on his recent SIEPS report "From Permacrisis to Strategic Autonomy - Adapting the EU Treaties to New Realities".

The European Research Council (ERC) is a key research funder in Europe funding researchers with projects with potential to be ground-breaking across all fields of science. As the principal investigator for a project, Professor Martin Englund at Lund University, has been fortunate to have had such funding for a 5-year period for a project in the field of osteoarthritis. The menisci in the knee are

With each day that passes, I become more impressed by this organisation. In the early spring, we came out of the pandemic (well, not completely, but there was at least a loosening of restrictions that were paralysing society) to be met by a new uncertainty, which since then has unsettled us and caused anxiety – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Just as when the pandemic struck, Lund University showed

Investigating air pollution is not for researchers afraid of heights. One of the fearless is Erik Ahlberg, a combustion physicist at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). His working days are often spent far above ground – currently on the roof of Malmö Town Hall, where the instruments that capture air particles are located. There are many stairs in the town hall. The last staircase to the top of the

Researchers at Lund University have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish Envir

A team of researchers led by Daniel E. Coral and Paul W. Franks at LUDC have used human genetics to do a phenome-wide analysis of the degree of genetic dissimilarity between obesity and type 2 diabetes. Together with colleagues from Dundee and Oxford universities in the UK and the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute in the US, the team recently published their findings in the journal Nature Metabolism.
