LUCSUS research is global in scope and covers many topics and countries. Last year, in 2024, researchers conducted field work in places such as India, Nepal, Ghana, Colombia, USA and Kenya. Visiting the home of perennial research in Kansa, USALUCSUS researchers Elina Andersson, Lennart Olsson and Stefan Schuller, who are all working in the PERENNIAL project, participated in the project’s annual me

In 2025, children within the TEDDY study will submit their final samples at research clinics in Sweden, Finland, Germany and the United States. The international study has provided a lot of new knowledge about type 1 diabetes and how the disease develops. Analysis of the samples will continue with the aim of preventing the disease. Sweden and Finland are the two top countries for incidence rates o

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

Hur mäter vi ett lands utsläpp av koldioxid mest rättvisande? Genom hur mycket utsläpp produktionen ger upphov till inom landets gränser? Eller ska vi ta hänsyn även till utrikeshandeln på olika sätt? Ekonomihistorikern Astrid Kander från Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet förespråkar att de nuvarande måtten kompletteras med egenutvecklade ”teknikjusterade klimatfotavtrycket” som även mäter ex

After a huge response with over 60 creative name suggestions from students and staff at the faculty, the decision has now been made: the Astronomy Building is getting a new name and will step into the future as Universum!

Forests are important for climate change mitigation, both as raw material for biofuels and for carbon storage. At the same time, forests are under pressure from a changing climate and more intensive forestry. A new thesis by Klas Lucander at Lund University shows the possible consequences for forests of fertilisation, and how this could lead to eutrophication and acidification instead of tree grow

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Emissions of greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the climate, whereas small airborne particles in the atmosphere, aerosols, act as a cooling mechanism. That is the received wisdom in any case. However, new research from Lund University in Sweden can now show that the tiniest aerosols are increasing at the expens

Diabetes is currently treated using incretin hormones to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other medical issues that the illness can trigger. Now researchers from Lund University in Sweden have noted new links between these hormones and arteriosclerosis, and believe their discovery could be significant for treatment of diabetes in the future.

Scientists at Lund University have discovered for the first time that it is possible to detect insect DNA in the air. Using air from three sites in Sweden, insect DNA from 85 species could be identified. This offers scope for exploring a whole new way to monitor terrestrial biodiversity. These preliminary results will be presented at Ecology Across Borders (13th-15th December) via an online poster

What makes a university a university? The simple answer would be that the institution hosts teaching and research. Yet a university is so much more than that; it might be easiest to capture the essence of the universe that is a university by summarising the year that has just ended. It is a razor sharp, teeming, testing, reflective universe that pushes boundaries in disruptive, eloquent and powerf
