This is to prevent the risk of injury to passers-by from falling pieces of concrete. It is hoped that the recast sphinxes will be in place in 2022. The top

To achieve the University’s goal of reducing emissions that have an impact on the climate, we need to make changes throughout the organisation. One of these adjustments is to choose more sustainable travel options, now that opportunities to travel are opening up again. One way is to choose the train when travelling within Europe. The University’s travel agent is constantly working to create better

The EU is now focusing efforts on innovation work – and it is also important for LU to pick up the pace! The question “How can a university sharpen up its innovation environment”, was on the agenda at the LERU meeting “Policy group enterprise and innovation” recently.

It will be a major challenge for the higher education institutions to satisfy the government’s request for new forms of lifelong learning. We must ascertain what the University can develop and which parts of lifelong learning we are going to focus on.

Under 2025 har det getts ut flera böcker med miljö-, klimat- eller hållbarhetsfokus där forskare från Lunds universitet är författare, medförfattare eller redaktörer, och de flesta är också medlemmar i någon av CEC:s nätverksorganisationer.

Kan spel fungera som en metod för att sprida kunskap och inspirera till handling? Om man frågar Karl Sterner Isaksson och Jagdeep Singh så är svaret på detta ett självklart ja! De är båda aktuella mer varsitt spel om biologisk mångfald respektive matsvinn, och de ser spel som ett sätt att förvandla komplexa miljöutmaningar till något begripligt, engagerande – och roligt!
