Two years have passed since Swedish universities, LUSEM included, almost overnight went from campus to remote teaching. How did it go? We met up with Blerim Emruli, senior lecturer in Informatics at LUSEM and Qlik Educator Ambassador. We wanted to get a glimpse of his current thoughts on digital education. Blerim Emruli teaches and researches artificial intelligence, decision support systems and b

With only a few weeks remaining of its first semester, the maiden voyage of the Master’s programme in Cultural Criminology at Lund University is ending. How does this unique criminology master’s programme provide nuance to deviance? “I have found the course to be fantastic so far,” says Jack Lowe, one of the 14 students currently in the Master’s programme in Cultural Criminology. Having received h

At a seminar held on 5 March 2026, Anders Ahnlid, Director-General of the National Board of Trade (Kommerskollegium), offered his analysis of the European Union’s role in an unstable global trade environment. Against the backdrop of shifting geopolitical dynamics and the return of protectionist policies, Ahnlid’s central message was that the global trading system is undergoing profound change, and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Collaborations between the public sector and academia are increasingly common, and are often highlighted as the way forward for strategic climate planning. But how are practitioners and academics to work together to achieve results? Researchers at LUCSUS are investigating how a model can benefit transdisciplinary sust

The coast is changing. The sea is encroaching further inland, and the shoreline of childhood memory no longer looks the same. Climate change is impacting beaches and the sea, but time is also a factor. Someone who knows a lot about changes to the Skåne coastline is Caroline Hallin. She is a coastal engineer whose research focuses on erosion, storm surges and nature-adapted coastal protection at th

Few research publications reach outside the realm of academia and even fewer make an impact on sustainability debates and societal issues. Kimberly Nicholas’ research on lifestyle choices to reduce your carbon footprint is unique in its reach and impact on society. Her research started with a question, asked by friends and students: what can I do for the climate that really makes a difference? Kim

After 20 years of research on gene therapy and the rare blood disease, Diamond–Blackfan Anemia, DBA, researcher Johan Flygare had reached a point where he and his colleagues had done everything they could in the lab. Even though they had proof of concept their gene therapy would work, engaging companies had been difficult. Then, in 2021, he received an e-mail. The message came from American entrep

PhD student Steinunn Knúts Önnudóttir not only has a background as a director, writer, theologian, life coach and actor. When she started her PhD in Lund, she was also an academic dean in her native Iceland. With the question 'How little is enough?' she has explored how little it really takes to create an artistic, transformative experience. Friday is the day of her defence. Steinunn Knúts Önnudót

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers have created a digital audio platform that can modify the emotional tone of people’s voices while they are talking, to make them sound happier, sadder or more fearful. New results show that while listening to their altered voices, participants’ emotional state change in accordance with the new emotion. “Ve

Pathologists and coroners are now commonplace in crime novels and TV crime series and are often depicted as slightly odd people. Elisabet Englund has worked at the Division of Pathology in Lund for over 40 years. She has often been told that she is a little ‘too happy’ to be a pathologist. “Yes, there is a stereotype of people who work with dead people, which perhaps contributes to the mystificati

For the first time, an international team of scientists have calculated the total land area that the countries of the world have included in their individual plans for climate action, known as nationally determined contributions. The results show a big divide between the countries' expected land use and the actual potential of land to mitigate climate change. “By totalling the aggregate land area

Impaired insulin secretion is closely associated with type 2 diabetes, but the process is not yet fully understood. A new study by researchers at Lund University shows that the Piezo1 ion channel regulates insulin secretion, which means it may be an important target for new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes often occurs because the pancreatic beta cells are unable to produce enough effective in

Researchers at Lund University have recently sought to shed more light on how normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce a vast variety of blood cells. Their latest findings, now out in Cell Reports this week, confirm the existence of a transition state as HSCs develop into functional blood cells and provide insights into how certain properties of HSCs are lost as these cells decide their fate
