A new national competence centre for satellite-based social science analysis has recently been established at Lund University. The initiative brings together researchers from several universities and disciplines, and from the Faculty of Science, participants include Lina Eklund, researcher at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo).The centre, the Swedish Competence Centre for Sa
As Head of the Faculty Office, you are involved in a wide range of issues, which provides a broad perspective on the organisation. Our facilities are, in many ways, the foundation of everything we do. They need to function well, be fit for purpose, and be available when needed – while also being used efficiently so that valuable space does not stand empty.A few years ago, a more coordinated effort
The countdown has begun. From 2–9 May, Lund University will welcome young science talents from across Europe as they arrive to take part in the European Olympiad of Experimental Science (EOES) 2026. For Jonas Forshamn, teacher at Kitas Gymnasium in Gothenburg and Director of EOES 2026, it is all starting to feel very real.“It’s incredibly exciting now that it’s just around the corner. We are both

Work to optimise and develop the Faculty’s premises is underway in several areas, with much already accomplished. The aim is to make better use of existing space and free up areas for research and education. A large part of this work is led by Hanieh Heidarabadi, Process Manager at the Faculty of Science. Efforts to review and improve the Faculty’s premises have evolved over time, often as a resul
Professor Karin Rengefors sees strong opportunities to further develop the role of Deputy Dean. In the coming years, she would like to deepen efforts to strengthen doctoral education and further develop the faculty’s work on academic recruitment. Why are you standing as a candidate for Deptuty Dean of the Faculty of Science?“I see this type of work as long-term, and quite simply, it is not yet fin

Professor Charlotta Turner believes in the power of natural science to shape society. As Dean, she wants to create an environment where people meet across boundaries and where going to work or study feels engaging, inspiring and rewarding. Why are you running for Dean of the Faculty of Science?“I am driven by new challenges, especially when it comes to leadership and development in our academic en
Bibiana Prinoth has been awarded the Oscar II Scholarship 2026 for the best thesis at the Faculty of Science. The scholarship recognises the most prominent thesis presented during the past two years within each field at Lund University. In her work, Bibiana Prinoth studies distant and extreme planetary atmospheres using advanced spectroscopy, opening up new possibilities for understanding how plan
The Faculty Board has adopted principles for the allocation of funding for first- and second-cycle education. The distribution is based on HST (full-time equivalent students), HPR (full-time equivalent performance, calculated as a three-year average), as well as the scope of laboratory and field courses. Proposals from the departments are discussed in the Management Council and the Education Commi

Johan Gustafsson, a researcher in medical radiation physics at the Faculty of Science, delivered his docent lecture last week, attracting around 40 attendees keen to learn more. In this interview, he talks about the theme of the lecture and his research.

Writing a thesis can be both lonely and difficult to get started with. To support students in the writing process, the Faculty of Science Library and the Academic Support Centre at Lund University have launched a joint digital initiative combining focused writing sessions with Q&A drop-ins.“We noticed that students often come to us with questions that fall somewhere between the library and the Aca
When Tobias Nilsson, a Scientific Officer at the Faculty Office, travelled to South Africa through Lund University’s exchange programme with Stellenbosch University, he did not quite know what to expect. But the weeks filled with job shadowing, workshops and meetings provided both new perspectives and experiences that stayed with him long after returning home.“It was powerful to meet people who ha

Vårt DNA är mycket likt schimpansens, som evolutionärt är vår närmaste levande släkting. Nu har stamcellsforskare i Lund hittat en tidigare förbisedd del i vårt DNA, så kallat icke-kodat DNA, som tycks bidra till en skillnad som trots alla våra likheter kan förklara varför våra hjärnor fungerar olika. Studien publiceras i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Cell Stem Cell. Schimpansen är vår närmaste le

Att få projektstöd från Vetenskapsrådet ses som en kvalitetsstämpel och är ett av de viktigaste stegen för att en ung forskare ska kunna etablera en självständig forskargrupp. Förra veckan prisades inte mindre än nio av MultiParks forskarledare med sammanlagt 31,6 miljoner kronor. I år uppmuntrar Vetenskapsrådet MultiParks målsättning att vara ett tvärvetenskapligt forskningsområde. Bland projekte

Många av Sveriges 20 000 Parkinsonpatienter får inte den behandling de behöver och många av de svårast sjuka får felaktig terapi. Med nya verktyget Manage PD och studien PD Pal hoppas Per Odin, professor vid Lunds universitet och överläkare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus, kunna förbättra omhändertagandet av Parkinsonpatienter.
