The Swedish Migration Agency should speed up visa processing for international students and researchers – a move that Lund University has eagerly awaited. And more Swedish students should study abroad. These are two of the proposals in the report of the Swedish Government’s commission of inquiry on increased internationalisation at higher education institutions (HEIs). The long processing times at

A sudden bang. The hand grenade has caused me severe shrapnel injuries: a punctured lung, my liver is bleeding and the wound on my leg is causing rapid blood loss. The medics decide that this requires an intervention from the trauma squad. I am loaded onto a stretcher and driven to the surgery tent. It is Monday morning, and the Aurora 23 military exercise is in full swing in southern Sweden. I am

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Hösten 1968 kom det första numret av LUM ut. Från att ha varit ett rent informationsblad utvecklades LUM under 70-talet till en journalistisk tidning som var tidigt ute med att anställa vetenskapsjournalister. I takt med att internet vann mark glesades utgivningen ut, fast LUM har enligt läsarundersökningar ändå haft sin relevans. Men nu läggs tidningen ner och vi ser tillbaka på åren som gått. De
