During 2021, Lund University made several major investments in sustainability, in research, education, external engagement and its own organisation. Everything from solar cells on the roofs to new doctoral students and postdocs focused on Agenda 2030. Lund University’s sustainability work is now presented in an annual summary. Knowledge about the path to a sustainable society is needed now more th

The sound of tawny owls makes young European robins eat less during their southward migration. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how the threat from nocturnal predators affects the birds’ behaviour – and by extension their survival. When young robins embark on their first southward migration in the autumn, they make regular stops along the way to rest and replenish their energy rese

Lundagård is at its most beautiful in May and June. And just when it is at its most beautiful, the University makes sure to pay tribute to science at the Doctoral Degree Conferment Ceremony. And that is also the case this year. For the University, the Doctoral Degree Conferment Ceremony is one of the most important occasions for paying tribute to the science and knowledge that we create at the Uni

Instead, we must reduce our energy consumption, as the total energy consumption within road transports is not decreasing”, explains David Harnesk, research

In a new study, biologists at Lund University in Sweden show that the Harris’s hawk has the best colour vision of all animals investigated to date – and in certain situations, even better than humans. The findings

The University’s call for applications concerning positions for 15 assistant professors (associate senior lecturers) and 10 visiting professors has now ended. The call attracted interest far beyond expectations and I am very pleased to note that several world-leading researchers are among the applicants for the visiting professorships. In total, 968 people from all over the world applied for the 1

Bioelectronics research and development of implants made of electrically conductive materials for disease treatment is advancing rapidly. However, bioelectronic treatment is not without complications. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have taken another step forward by developing a refined method to create detailed and tissue-friendly bioelectronics.

Accumulation of the substance amyloid beta in the brain impairs the memory and cognitive ability in people with Alzheimer’s. New findings from Lund University in Sweden show that the cause of amyloid beta pathology might be more versatile than previously known. Researchers believe that these new findings may be of significance to the development of new medications. The accumulation of the protein

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have discovered higher levels of immune proteins in the blood before and after an epileptic seizure. The possible biomarkers can be identified using a simple blood test. Diagnosing epilepsy is currently resource intensive, and distinguishing it from other conditions can be challenging. Better diagnostic methods as soon as the patient seeks medical care af

A research group at Lund University has studied how a molecular sensor located in the blood vessel wall, controls how the vessel compensates for high blood pressure. As we age, the sensor deteriorates, which can worsen vascular damage caused by high blood pressure and consequently lead to secondary diseases affecting the heart, brain, or other organs. In mice, the researchers demonstrate that the
