Business travel at the University took off again in November last year compared with the same month the year before. More business trips could mean that the University’s climate footprint is increasing again and that the drop seen in 2020 was a one-off phenomenon. For a time last autumn, the pandemic restrictions were eased and people started to travel again. Some employees made the most of the op

For the first time, the University has investigated the collective climate footprint of the entire organisation. Emissions of greenhouse gases fell sharply during the pandemic, almost exclusively due to the suspension of travel. However, there is still a long way to go to meet the emission targets for 2023 in the sustainability plan. The recent report shows that, in 2018, the University emitted a

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI

Many of us have worked more remotely during the pandemic than we ever dreamed of doing. Informatics researcher Saonee Sarker has been studying IT-enabled collaboration and its impact on work-life balance for many years, but mainly with a focus on the IT sector. Today, she sees how that industry's digital settings has moved to encompass us all. The bookshelves in Saonee Sarker's office at the Schoo

Lund University has set aside up to SEK 100 million for a university-wide investment in excellence at Lund University with a focus on Agenda 2030 and sustainable development for the period 2021-2025. Within the framework of this program, the Research Board has previously announced funding for interdisciplinary projects in the spring of 2021.

Swedish higher education institutions have recently highlighted several problems concerning international students and researchers and their opportunities to enter, stay and work in Sweden. This is not only a considerable concern for individuals, but also affects higher education institutions’ competitiveness and ultimately that of Sweden. I have previously written in the blog about amendments to

From the Vice-chancellor blog: Free and creative thoughts that can be turned into words or other expressions are the basis of a democratic society. Free and creative thoughts are also the preconditions for renewal. These are my words from a previous blog and after last week’s dark events, when Russia invaded Ukraine, it has become even more important to stress this. We now have an ongoing war in E

The aim of annual leave is to give employees leisure time for rest and recreation; the main principle is therefore that annual leave is to be taken as holiday time. Already early on in the year, annual leave needs to be planned on the basis of the manager’s responsibility for ensuring the function of the organisational unit, and the wishes of the employees. Pursuant to the Annual Leave Act, an emp

The University is growing and developing, which entails the need for changes of campus. At the moment, around 35% of the University’s premises are under refurbishment, planning or reconstruction. As this brings major changes affecting the entire University, the work on campus development needs to be reinforced. A campus development office, with responsibility for campus development issues and incl

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

Today, Lund University celebrates its annual academic ceremony to mark the University’s inauguration in 1668. The University was founded in an era of repeated wars between Sweden and Denmark. Nowadays, we live in peace and freedom with our neighbour. Today, on 4 March 2022, when we celebrate the annual academic ceremony, Lund University will raise the flag for Ukraine. It is a demonstration of sup

From the vice-chancellor blog: Intensive work is being carried out on how we can open doors for Ukraine at the EU and national levels and at Lund University. Here, we are looking at all possibilities to enable us to take in students, academics and researchers who need to leave their country or will need to study or conduct research in their homeland in the future. We are working according to short

Each spring, the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology host two days of public lectures presented by our very own researchers, in our very own buildings. All events are free of charge and open to the public. The Humanities and Theology days are filled with presentations and lectures, where researchers from all of the Faculties’ departments present current projects to the public in a fun and e

I över 60 år har forskare försökt avgöra om växter pollineras mer på dagen eller natten – utan att nå någon tydlig slutsats. Nu visar en stor forskningsöversikt gjord vid Lunds universitet att nattens pollinatörer gör lika stor insats som dagaktiva arter i hela 90 procent av de undersökta fallen. Det flesta av oss vet hur viktiga bin, fåglar och fjärilar är för växters reproduktion – utan pollinat

Den 22 maj är det Biologiska mångfaldens dag och naturen – eller kanske snarare hotet mot den – uppmärksammas på många håll. Men det är inte bara artrikedomen som minskar, utan även våra upplevelser av naturen, enligt forskningen. Men det finns sätt att motverka det. Naturkontakt har blivit alltmer sällsynt i takt med att samhället rört sig bort från naturen i högre utsträckning. Fenomenet kallas

Josefine Kjaer Helgstrand skrev sin masteruppsats i miljövetenskap vid Lunds universitet om cirkulär offentlig upphandling. En av slutsatserna var att organisationer bör prioritera tydligt ledarskap och strategiskt anpassade ramavtalsstrukturer för att maximera klimatnyttan vid cirkulär upphandling. Nu har Josefine fått SYSAVs utmärkelse för sin uppsats. Josefine Kjaer Helgstrand tog examen 2024 i

Fakta och forskning måste väga tyngre när framtidens städer planeras när det gäller grönska. En ny forskningsartikel efterlyser ett paradigmskifte – från ”godtyckliga beslut” till mer evidensbaserad stadsplanering, där stadens natur förvaltas som en resurs för både människa och biologisk mångfald. Den biologiska mångfalden är under press och många arter riskerar att försvinna som en följd av mänsk

Statsminister Ulf Kristersson besökte nyligen Marint centrum i Simrishamn. Där fick han bland annat en inblick i universitetets forskning kring artificiella torskrev och invasiva fiskarter. Han betonade forskningens avgörande roll för Östersjöns framtid. De senaste åren har Östersjön huvudsakligen varit föremål för säkerhetsfrågor och geopolitik. Men fokus för statsministerns studiebesök var i stä

Belysning är viktigt för att skapa tillgänglighet och trygghet för oss människor under dygnets mörka timmar. Samtidigt kan artificiell belysning bland annat störa biologiska dygnsrytmer och försvåra för djur att navigera, vilket leder till negativa effekter på flera artgrupper med konsekvenser även för oss människor. I början av juni arrangerade LU Land frukostseminariet ”Belysning och ljusföroren
