Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space. The new results could be put to use within the Earth observation programme Copernicus, when satellites will be sent into space in the coming years. At the COP26 climate summit, the nations of the world agreed on a new document that for the fir

Colombia is the world’s most dangerous country for those fighting to protect the rain forest and the environment. Last year, 79 people were killed for that reason, three times as many as in the second most dangerous country, Brazil. This means planning field studies there needs to be particularly meticulous.

Most researchers want to do things correctly and much of the time this is straightforward: you do not need instructions in order to understand that you are to write your own text and not plagiarise others. But not all rules and processes are as obvious and some change over time. In interviews with researchers connected to the HR Excellence in Research project, it emerged that many struggle to alwa

We are now taking the next step in the University's work to make bias visible and prevent it in academia. Through a new training programme for critical friends, we want to raise awareness of how unconscious bias affects our academic environments. Biases, unconscious perceptions and preconceived ideas can influence the way we make decisions, judge others and shape our organisations. It is a challen

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r

Tumörvävnadens styvhet spelar en roll för hur cancer sprider sig. Dessutom lämnar styv tumörvävnad spår i de drabbade cellerna. Detta visar två nya studier från Lunds universitet. – Detta hjälper oss att bättre förstå hur de mekaniska egenskaperna i tumörens mikromiljö aktivt driver cancerutveckling och spridning, säger Vinay Swaminathan, forskare vid Lunds universitet.

Vad är det som gör ett universitet till ett universitet? Att det finns utbildning och forskning vid lärosätet är det enkla svaret. Men ett universitet är mycket mer än så och kanske är det som lättast att fånga essensen av det universum som ett universitet utgör när man vid årets slut sammanfattar det gångna året. Det är knivskarpt, det myllrar, det provar, det reflekterar, det utmanar gränser, de
