International collaboration takes place every dayInternationalisation is not something that happens alongside our core activities – it is a natural part of them. Science is fundamentally international, and scientific progress depends on collaborations across subject boundaries and disciplines around the world. Internationalisation is therefore an integrated part of our researchers’ everyday work.A

Quantum. The word is appearing more and more frequently in discussions about future technologies, security, medicine and computing. At the same time, the field is often perceived as both abstract and difficult to understand. But what exactly is quantum physics, and why is there so much interest in it right now? “Quantum physics was developed to describe the very smallest building blocks of the uni

How can reflection become a natural part of teaching in the natural sciences? That is the starting point for a new workshop series designed to give teachers practical tools and support to help students develop their reflective skills – an essential component of learning and a national degree requirement. Reflection may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about science education

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A warmer global climate can cause mutations to have more severe consequences for the health of organisms through their detrimental effect on protein function. This may have major repercussions for an organisms’ ability to adapt to, and survive in, the altered habitats of the future. This is shown in a new research stu

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. When the snow is gone, it does not take too long before a familiar spring sound reappears - the bumblebee buzz. Since bumblebees are well adapted to cold climates, many of the species are negatively affected by a warmer climate. Researchers at Lund University now ask for the public's help in reporting the first bumble

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Many species of bee are threatened by global warming, but not all. The buff-tailed bumblebee is the world’s most common bee and will likely remain that way, as researchers from Lund University have discovered that this species benefits from a warmer climate. Through research into buff-tailed bumblebees collected by am

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Boreal peatlands store large amounts of carbon, but warmer and drier conditions caused by climate change may turn these ecosystems into carbon sources.

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The forest is currently at the centre of an intense debate. It concerns, in simplified terms, which climate benefits the forest can provide, either by sequestering carbon in standing forest, or by being used to substitute fossil fuels and fossil-intensive materials. In a new literature review from the Centre for Envir

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. An international research team has found a new method for predicting entire pollen seasons, something that can help healthcare and allergy sufferers plan to reduce problems. No similar tool has previously been used in the area. The researchers also show that pollen seasons may be 60 per cent more severe in the future

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By changing from action-based to result-based environmental payment, farmers are financially encouraged to implement conservation measures, such as buffer strips and organic farming, where they are most beneficial for the environment and not, as today, where they least disrupt the production. This according to William
