AktuelLTH will take a break over the summer, returning on Thursday 25 August.

You can continue emailing us with tips and submissions throughout the summer - send your email to AktuelLTH@kansli.lth.se

The editorial team wishes you all a long and relaxing summer. See you again in the autumn!

It's been 30 years since LTH admitted the first group of students to the Fire Protection Engineering and Risk Management programmes. It is also been five years since the start of the international Master's programme in Fire Safety Technology, run in cooperation with the University of Ghent and the University of Edinburgh.

The celebrations will take the form of a conference on 29-30 September 2016 aimed at students, alumni and others with close ties to the programmes. The participation fee, including dinner on 29 September, will be approximately SEK 1500.

More information and invitations will be sent out next week.

EuroSoTL 2017 is the 2nd European conference for the scholarship of teaching and learning, and will take place in Lund on June 8-9 next year. The conference is about changing and improving higher education and how SoTL can impact people and practices.

The conference committee is now accepting submissions of emerging, ongoing and finalised inquiries on how SoTL contributes to transformed patterns of learning and behaviour in and between:

• students
• teaching and teachers
• collegial communities
• departments and institutions
• leaders and managers
• society

About the EuroSoTL conference and the call for papers

At last year's Culture Night event we rolled out the red carpet outside Studiecentrum and received 1,300 visitors! We are doing it all over again this year, and if you would like to get involved or find out more about the event, please contact project leader Hanna Nilvall on hanna.nilvall@kansli.lth.se or phone 046-222 33 08.

The Lund Culture Night takes place each year on the third Saturday of September. When it first launched in 1985 it was the only event of it's kind, but has since been replicated by many other cities - both in Sweden and abroad.

A lot of people write in and ask us to include information about their scholarships in AktuelLTH. Instead of including each individual scholarship in the newsletter, we would like to draw your attention to the university's central information about scholarships as well as the scholarship search service Research Professional. You can also sign up to receive the university's newsletter Research Funding News.

Two small exceptions:
