For more than a year, communicators at the Faculty of Science and LTH have been meeting regularly. The focus has been on professional development, with lectures on topics ranging from crisis management to IT security. The initiative started when Cecilia Schubert, communicator at the Faculty of Science, and Hanna Nilvall, head of the Communication and Collaboration Unit at LTH, identified a need to

We have a new name for the Astronomy Building – Universum! To me, it expresses that this will be a place where everyone in the faculty can gather, where disciplines meet, and where we feel at home, while also honouring what has always been here: astronomy.I am deeply relieved and glad we reached consensus on the name, especially as it emerged several times among the suggestions in our naming compe

On 17 December, the Faculty Board decided on the Faculty of Science’s continued work regarding a potential establishment in Science Village. This means that it will not support the continued planning of Nanolab Science Village (Stage 1). The decision is based, among other things, on the report "Assessment of Critical Mass for Establishment in Science Village", which highlights both the opportuniti

The Faculty Board decided not to proceed with the establishment of Stage 2 in Science Village in accordance with the proposal on critical mass, and therefore does not support continued planning of NanoLab Science Village (Stage 1). An investigation into the renovation of the Physics Building (Fysicum) will be prioritised. In parallel, a forward-looking review of the long-term development of physic

The past year has to a large extent been shaped by developments in the world around us. At this time last year, the government presented its Research and Innovation Bill, “Research and Innovation for the Future, Curiosity and Benefit”. The investments announced there triggered an intense period of work at the university, and many colleagues have had to set aside other tasks to respond to these ini

Editors: Ov Cristian Norocel; Anders Hellström; Martin Bak JørgensenThis open access book shows how the politics of migration affect community building in the 21st century, drawing on both retrogressive and progressive forms of mobilization. It elaborates theoretically and shows empirically how the two master frames of nostalgia and hope are used in local, national and transnational settings, in a

Researchers at Lund University have designed a new bioink which allows small human-sized airways to be 3D-bioprinted with the help of patient cells for the first time. The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and support new blood vessel growth into the transplanted material. This is an important first step towards 3D-printing organs. The new study has been published in Advanced Materials. Chro

In a collaborative study with other European research groups, scientists from Lund University in Sweden have shed new light on how the protein aggregates that accumulate in the Parkinsonian brain may contribute to neuronal injury during disease progression. The study is published in Cell Reports. The brain is a complex organ composed of billions of neurons, whose proper function is dependent on a

In a recent study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center uncover developmental differences in the molecular machinery of the cells that maintain the blood system. These findings provide new insights into how the blood system develops throughout life and identify mechanisms that, if disrupted, may lead to malignancies. The study is published in Cell Reports. The body makes several million blood ce
