Simone from ItalyAbout the programme and the teaching styleHow did you find out about this programme and why did you choose it?"Studying environmental policy was something that I wanted to do since my last year of Bachelor’s studies. As I was specialising in economics, I became aware of how our society and economic activity impact the environment, and I really wanted to contribute to this field. G
Small bats are bad at converting energy into muscle power. Surprisingly, a new study led by Lund University reveals that this ability increases the faster they fly. The researchers have studied the efficiency of migratory bats – a species that weighs about eight grams and is found in almost all of Europe. Efficiency, in this case, is the ability to convert supplied energy into something we need. F

In a new PhD thesis from Lund University in Sweden, gender studies researcher Marco Bacio interviewed male sex workers in Sweden and Italy. What surprised him the most was that a majority of the sex workers were well-educated - and middle class. Female sex work is far more common than male sex work, and so is research about the same topic. According to Marco Bacio, however, we know less about men

Deeper relationships with colleagues we were already close with, while others drifted further away. During the pandemic, spontaneous meetings decreased, and we created social filter bubbles. This is shown by a study from Lund University in Sweden that investigated how we managed our work relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, many colleagues were reduced to tiny digital f

Understanding that others hold different viewpoints from your own is essential for human sociality. Adopting another person’s visual perspective is a complex skill that emerges around the age of two. A new study from Lund University in Sweden, published in Science Advances, suggests that this ability first arose in dinosaurs, at least 60 million years before it appeared in mammals. These findings

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil. In the study, researchers collected soil samples from across Europe in a wide range of temperatures, from minus 3.1 to 18.3 degrees Celsius. The samples revealed that microorganisms in soils – such as bacteria and fungi – are stron

With the market for fossil fuels in decline, the oil industry is investing heavily in the chemical and plastics industry instead. The strategy seems to be working: the plastics industry is growing faster than the global economy. Multibillion-dollar subsidies from states and publicly funded banks, combined with weak legislation, are reasons behind the rapid growth, according to a new report from Lu

Insects heavily rely on bacteria for essential nutrients that are lacking in their diet. This has allowed insects to access a wide variety of food, leading to remarkable species diversification in some cases, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Insects are crucial for biodiversity and among the most successful species on the planet. However, until now, it has been unclear how

Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various properties of clays, such as through the addition of certain molecules or salts, we can use them for new and sustainable products in the fields of medicine, architecture and building materials.
