A new PhD thesis by Bernard Ekumah examines why agricultural development in Ghana continues to generate uneven and contradictory outcomes, especially for smallholder farmers. It argues that these outcomes are not primarily the result of isolated failures of policy design or implementation. Rather, they arise from structural contradictions embedded in the internal logic of Ghana’s neo-liberal agrar

With Varvsstaden out of the picture, the University of Chicago’s establishment and investment in one of the US megacity’s most vulnerable areas, South Side, serve as the blueprint for the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts’ future co-location. “Imagine creating a campus area in Heleneholm where the Malmö Academy of Music is already located.

Hon ingår i Sveriges olympiska kommittés utvecklingsprogram "Morgondagens idrottsforskare" och hennes forskning om paraidrottares hälsa syftar till att personer med funktionsnedsättning ska kunna idrotta säkert. Just nu befinner hon sig i Kina för att stötta de svenska paralympierna vid de paralympiska vinterspelen. Rent prestationsmässigt är det Sveriges bästa paralympiska vinterspel på flera år.
När LINXS flyttade från sina gamla lokaler på Ideon till The Loop i Science Village i mars, blev institutet den första forskningsmiljön från Lunds universitet att ta steget upp på Brunnshög. Sedan dess har aktiviteterna mer än dubblerats, nya samarbeten har vuxit fram och stämningen i teamet är påtagligt optimistisk.Jag träffade Anna Ntinidou, administrativ chef, Noomi Egan, kommunikatör, och Jose

Två frågor som tagit relativt mycket av min tid sedan jag blev vicerektor för fem år sedan är hantering av forskningsdata och IT-säkerhet. Båda var områden där LU inte levde upp till förväntningarna på ett topp 100 universitet. Det finns naturligtvis många beröringspunkter mellan områdena, och båda kräver ett betydligt större inslag av universitetsgemensamma lösningar än vad vi är vana vid. Vi har
Årets miljöredovisning visar flera ljusglimtar: många av hållbarhetsmålen uppnås, tågresandet ökar och miljökrav vid upphandlingar ökar. Samtidigt är klimatutsläppen på ungefär samma nivå och det finns fortsatta utmaningar med inköp kopplat till höga klimatavtryck, särskilt kopplat till fastigheter och laboratorieutrustning. Varje år skickar universitetet in en redovisning av vårt miljöledningsarb
Återvinningsindustrin för metaller växer, inte minst genom nya metaller i elektroniska komponenter. Lundaforskare har undersökt inandningsluften på 13 återvinningsföretag i Sverige. Bland resultaten syns höga blyhalter och ett stort antal metaller i blodet hos dem som arbetar med återvinningen. Olika former av metaller ingår i, och är en förutsättning för, tillverkningen av de flesta produkter i d

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

The next-door neighbour whose home you’ve never been inside. That was how Jason Diakité, also known as hip hop artist Timbuktu, felt about the University while growing up in Lund.

In 2022–2023, food prices in Sweden rose by 25 per cent. But it wasn't just households' wallets that were hit hard by the price increases – public health was too. Swedish consumers ate less dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables, according to a new report from Lund University.
