What has been the main option for a long time – i.e. relocating basically all physics and chemistry to Science Village – is no longer relevant. The costs would be too high and the logistics of providing first and second-cycle education in particular would be difficult to organise. “This was crucial. The costs plus the fact that everything indicated that if we had relocated first and second-cycle e

Despite Greenland belonging to an ally, the NATO country Denmark, the U.S. president does not rule out military action. Ideally, he says he would like to buy Greenland – but is it even possible for one nation to buy another in that way? “Historically, it is entirely possible and has occurred on several occasions. The United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803, which at the

What works well and what doesn’t in your workplace? In 2024, we will have the chance to express views on issues related to the work environment by playing the OSA game. So far, the OSA game has helped us identify the need for support for managers and also the most common types of work environment problems in the organization. This has allowed us to prioritise areas where we need to focus our effor

Theories were introduced as far back as the 1960s about the possible existence of superheavy elements. Their most long-lived nuclei could give rise to a so-called “island of stability” far beyond the element uranium. However, a new study, led by nuclear physicists at Lund University, shows that a 50-year-old nuclear physics manifesto must now be revised. The heaviest element found in nature is ura

Teaching is to be as highly valued as research when it comes to appointments and promotions. Despite this ambition, it has rarely worked that way in practice. A recently completed project provides a new framework which will help faculty managements, as well as individual teaching staff members, to evaluate and develop educational qualifications. In the ‘Pedagogisk Meritering’ project, which concer

Climate research in the Arctic is being hit hard as collaboration with Russian researchers is put on ice. “It’s impossible to get an overall picture of the Arctic without looking at Russia. If this becomes permanent, we will be thrown back 20 years,” says Margareta Johansson, who leads the unique research project INTERACT, which incorporates researchers from all eight Arctic countries.

Climate researchers often emphasise the fact that reducing carbon emissions is in everyone’s best interest, and should involve all of us. But how good are they at minimising their own carbon footprint? A new study carried out jointly by Lund University and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland shows that some of them use up half their annual carbon allowance in a single week. There are ways to

The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (SUHF) has produced three reports that highlight key issues it regards as threats to the activities of higher education institutions. A fourth report on governance in higher education will be published after the summer. The other reports concern academic freedom, increased bureaucratisation and the reliance of research on external funding. T
