I attended a LERU meeting to discuss issues relating to education strategies, lifelong learning, exchanges of experience for improvements in teaching, and the challenges of interdisciplinary programmes. On 7-8 October, there was a two-day meeting in Utrecht of the policy group Teaching and Learning in LERU (League of European Research Universities), which includes vice-chancellors and deputy vice-

The University’s work on education has entered an exciting phase, with several important initiatives currently underway. The Education Board has begun work on the Plan of Operations for 2026, which ties in with the University’s revised Education Strategy for 2025-2027. Digitalisation within education and teaching remains a priority. On 11 December the Vice-Chancellor decided on a university-wide A

This year, we have initiated spring dialogues (formerly operational dialogues) between faculty and University management, and the response thus far has been very positive! These dialogues are a first step in the further development of the University's work on quality development and quality assurance, which will continue next semester with autumn dialogues (previously quality assurance dialogues).

Many very positive things are happening within management and leadership development right now. It is around a year since our new policy for academic leadership was approved, and a couple of weeks ago our new head of department programme was launched. I am truly glad that we are now able to offer a leadership programme that is specifically aimed at heads of department. The HR Division is now worki

At the Academy of Music in Malmö, Peter Spissky from Czechoslovakia found an opportunity to develop his interest in baroque music – a genre that didn’t suit the political system in his homeland. Through his research on how gestures taken from speech, acting and dance can be compressed into the movement of the bow, he

Malin Parmar is the stem cell researcher whose research was turned into a cartoon on ERC’s initiative; she found that it turned out better and more fun than she could have imagined. However, from the research world, she has had mixed reactions about prioritising a cartoon project. Malin Parmar, Professor of developmental and regenerative neurobiology. Some colleagues find this type of activity uns

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition – a method

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, researchers want to investigate if it is possible to use the genetic CRISPR/Cas9 scissors to correct the gene’s activity. The research team’s scientific paper was published in the Journal of Clinical Invest

Researchers at Lund University have developed a technique for simultaneously measuring electrical signals from 128 areas of the brain in awake rats. They have then used the information to measure what happens to the neurons when the rats are given psychedelic drugs. The results show an unexpected and simultaneous synchronisation among neurons in several regions of the brain. In light of the develo

How do birds avoid collision when flying in dense foliage and other cramped environments with many obstacles? And what does flying in such complex environments entail for the birds? These were the questions Per Henningsson of Lund University in Sweden pondered before engaging the help of the family’s own pet budgie to get some answers. His study has now been published in Royal Society Open Science
