When a new EU project focusing on gender equality and diversity in STEM got under way last autumn, Lund University was involved from the outset. Through the Department of Physics, Lund is participating in the Erasmus+ project GENERA COPA, which has received €400,000 in funding and brings together universities and research environments from across Europe. The project launched in September 2025 in c

There is an increasing awareness that pollinating insects need flowers rich in pollen and nectar. A new study shows that trees can be just as important for survival – at least for the red mason bee, and probably for other wild bees too. Researchers have investigated the types of habitats and flowers in the agricultural landscape that benefit the reproduction of the red mason bee – a common solitar

During extensive wildfires, residents may need to evacuate to stay safe, but knowing when to leave is sometimes unclear. A new study from Lund University in Sweden, among others, shows that people fleeing their homes drive more slowly than usual - despite time being crucial. Enrico Ronchi conducts fire research at Lund University in Sweden, and is an expert on evacuations during wildfires – how pe

What are the latest contributions to sustainability research, and who is working on the Global Goals? It is now possible to search for researchers, organisations, research output and projects that relate to the UN’s global goals. At the beginning of October, sustainability labels were launched to the public in Lund University’s Research Portal. The tagging can be used as one of many filters when l

The Research Board’s working group for research infrastructure has now decided who will receive money from the university-wide investments in support for local research infrastructure in 2022. Of the 21 applications received, the majority were from the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering, LTH. Only one application ‒ from the Humanities Lab ‒ was made from the oth

Lund University's holding company is changing its name from LU Holding to LU Ventures. The new name aims to better reflect the company's mission: to build companies that transform research into new products and services creating global impact. "We are third best in the world, but we should not be satisfied – more research must lead to innovations." said Rector Erik Renström and highlighted a repor

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has shown

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In the run-up to Christmas, a lot of us consider donating to charities. But what motivates us to actually follow through? Too much focus on encouraging sympathy in potential charity donors can actually have the opposite effect, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. Our willingness to help others is

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Exporting the Swedish welfare model is not a good idea. At least not as a recipe for achieving a more sustainable society, says Professor Max Koch, manager of a research team that links the climate crisis with welfare. Sweden’s relatively low carbon emissions, despite a high gross domestic product, are partly due to t

Why are some people with obesity protected from type 2 diabetes? Who is at risk of developing gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes? The Hjelt Diabetes Foundation awards two diabetes researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre grants for projects that are seeking new answers to these questions. Gestational diabetes happens when the body cannot produce enough insulin during pregnancy. The con

When you take a dip in a Swedish lake, it is not unusual to find you cannot see the lake bottom. Lake water coloured brown by organic material can be an inconvenience for swimming tourists, but mainly causes problems for the ecosystem and drinking water. Focusing on Lake Bolmen, researchers, public authorities and local organisations are now joining forces in a research project to find methods tha
