Renewable and affordable energy is key for societal and economic growth, and for achieving national and global climate goals. Research from LUCSUS is mapping the energy transition in Nepal and has identified how increasing energy access is closely linked to a new political awakening in the country. "Nepal is a very interesting case study since it has been held up as a case for how a country can t

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what
ATLAS is approaching, and this year’s edition brings several changes. The fair is moving to the Annexet where exhibitors will be spread across two floors. At the same time, new ideas and concepts are being introduced – including seminars before and after ATLAS – with the aim of preparing students more effectively for working life. We spoke to LUNA’s Head of Corporate Relations, Paulina Szofer, abo

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Bladder cancer is as common as malignant melanoma. However, in the past three decades, the death rate has remained high and the treatment has been the same since the 1970s. Yet only a very small part of research funding goes to bladder cancer. Through a unique collaboration, researchers now want to transfer new resear

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

Den svenska skattepolitiken leder till minskad välfärd, tappad internationell konkurrenskraft och ökade samhällsklyftor. Det anser de flesta nationalekonomer, däribland skatteforskaren Åsa Hansson som menar att det är hög tid för en skattereform. ”På sikt skulle alla vinna på det ”, säger hon. De senaste decennierna har skatter på fastigheter, konsumtion och visst kapital successivt minskat samtid

Våra knappt två kilo tarmbakterier tycks spela en ännu större roll än vad hittills varit känt. Bakterierna fungerar som både humörorgan och kommunikationscentral. Tarmfloreforskarna Åsa Håkansson och Frida Fåk Hållenius berättar om de senaste insikterna. För bara tio till femton år sedan framstod tanken på att diskutera tarmflora med sina bekanta förmodligen som något udda. Idag är det inte längre
