Internationalisation is fundamental in today's world. Therefore, a delegation from the Faculty traveled to Jordan, to deepen the collaboration with higher education institutions in the country, which means expanded opportunities for students for exchanges, in both directions. The purpose of the trip was to maintain and deepen relationships with the University of Jordan in Amman. The university is
The AI chat can answer questions, translate, write code, or write an exciting short story. The possibilities fascinate and perhaps worry some, but what is ChatGPT really about? "The way I see it, the chat bot mainly fulfills two functions; as a coach and as a productivity tool," says Björn Svensson, Director of studies and lecturer in informatics at LUSEM.Björn Svensson is part of a working grou

By capturing a weak signal from outer space, a research team was able to study the atmosphere of an exoplanet 300 light-years from Earth. The study shows that the planet’s gas envelope contains a specific isotope of carbon, which indicates that it was formed a long way from its host star. Exoplanets are planets located in solar systems other than our own. The first confirmed discovery was made in

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The bad news about malignant melanoma is that the disease is increasing more rapidly than most other types of cancer. The good news is that it is easy to cure, as long as it is detected in time. A research group in Lund has therefore started a project that it is hoped will make it easier to correctly diagnose suspicio

Researchers at Lund University are developing a new type of gene therapy that reprograms cancer cells within tumors into immune cells that can help the immune system fight cancer. Their approach, now published in the journal Science, could lead to more effective treatments for hard-to-treat cancers.
