This autumn, Lund University will offer its first three free open online courses, known as MOOCs. They will be in green economy, global health and European business law. Despite this decision, opinions are still partially divided. Some see MOOCs as a motor for development that will rejuvenate and adapt higher education to new methods of learning. Others fear that the hype surrounding MOOCs will ro

A new paper by Aleh Cherp and several co-authors published in Environmental Research Letters asks what is the fastest realistic rate of global coal phase-out and what it means for the climate. The paper signals both good and bad news. The good news are that more and more countries promise to phase out coal, including poorer economies that rely more on coal, have younger power plants and weaker de

What does it take to implement a complementary currency in a community, and how does it reshape social, technical, and economic dynamics? Juan Ocampo, a PhD graduate from Lund University’s School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) and the Agenda 2030 Graduate School, has spent five years investigating these questions. In his dissertation, Organizing Money: The process of implementing a complement

On 20 October, the Faculty of Science will for the very first time host an Inspiration Day for teachers. It will be a full day packed with pedagogical discussions, fresh ideas for the classroom, actor training, and opportunities to meet colleagues from across the faculty. We asked Charlotta Turner, Vice Dean for First- and Second-Cycle Education, why it is so important for our teachers to join – a
As a researcher, you sometimes have to work a little extra to get your knowledge out there. SWEAH's Impact Officer, Oskar Jonsson, has been training hard during the winter and spring. On May 4, he will embark on a 1,000-kilometer lecture tour on ageing and health – on a tandem bicycle, together with other SWEAH researchers, in the southern Swedish countryside. The plan is to cycle around 50 km a d

In Sweden he fears a risk of care damage, which likely does not exist in countries like Romania. During three months in the autumn, SWEAH PhD student Glenn Möllergren, Lund University, will live in Romania and find out more about it. First one year in the 1990s and then at a number of longer stays for education and work. Soon a smaller moving load will go to Romania again. Möllergren has received

De senaste åren har de digitala vårdalternativen för patienter med knä- och höftartros ökat kraftigt – inte minst på grund av pandemin. Men hittills har det inte gjorts några studier som har jämfört effekten av de digitala vårdinsatserna med de traditionellt fysiska. I en studie som publiceras i tidskriften JAMA Network Open, har forskare jämfört de två artrosskolorna. Cirka var fjärde person över

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

The University finds itself in a time of paradoxes. At the same time as the EU, via its framework programmes, works for openness and mobility for researchers and students, there are increasing nationalistic and protectionist trends. In addition, the trust and hope that society has in research as a solution for global challenges is being unsettled by the spread of knowledge relativism. This is the
