This autumn, LU Estates and Akademiska Hus will measure how much certain premises rented by the University are actually used. The measurements will be conducted by sensors placed at the entrances and exits to some offices and in lecture halls. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the need for premises. Digitalisation and the increase in working from home have led to offices being used less

The new UN climate report shows that the zero emissions goal for 2050 is achievable. However, it will require major changes in all sectors – not least in industry, which currently accounts for a large proportion of global emissions. The researchers identified several sustainable paths forward, but some sectors – above all in plastics and chemicals – are still searching for potential transition rou

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has now discovered three gene variants that increase the risk of blood clots in the leg by up to 180 perce

Trump’s attack on US universities and their research is actually a broader attack on democratic values, according to historian of knowledge Johan Östling. By destroying them, the Trump administration is paving the way for a very different kind of society.  “We need to understand the breadth and depth of this offensive,” says Johan Östling.Could you put Trump’s actions against universities in the U
