Network grant for planning future excellence clusters
The Swedish Research Council has decided on the applications to be awarded network grant for planning future excellence clusters for groundbreaking technologies. Of the 40 networks approved, four are at The Faculty of Engineering, Lund University.
SEK 30 million awarded for research on ultrashort laser pulses and quantum mechanics
Anne-Lise Viotti and Armin Tavakoli will each receive SEK 15 million grants as part of the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research’s investment in Future Research Leaders.
First there was maritime communication
The very first form of wireless communication was maritime; to be able to communicate with vessels far out on the oceans, radio transmissions have been used from late 1890’s. Today, there is a need for reliable connectivity at sea for positioning, and the future applications of remote pilotage, search and rescue, and autonomous shipping.
The AI Welfare State – Awarded grant for research cluster
The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Programme – Humanity and Society (WASP-HS) has awarded funding for research into the societal impact of AI to five research clusters. One of these clusters is partly led by Stefan Larsson at LTH and will focus on the welfare state and vulnerabilities in how it is being transformed through the [...]
AI, crisis and quantum in Almedalen
Lund University is returning to Almedalen with a broad programme to strengthen the public discussion about higher education and research. Since the university's first participation in 2009, the commitment has grown, and this year around 50 employees are participating. The programme offers discussions on everything from preparedness and AI to the [...]
Amplify the good – A new concept for stable wireless network
For each new generation of network, there is a certain technology shift. How can existing wireless network technology be improved, and in what way can it meet the requirements that will be set on the future 6G network? Researchers at The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University suggest a new way of both enhancing and distributing wireless networks [...]
Lund semiconductor research moves to Science Village
Science Village will now be the focal point for semiconductor research in Lund after Lars-Erik Wernersson's research group moved to The Loop. The move is expected to provide new opportunities for collaboration, as well as increased cooperation with MAX IV, ESS and the upcoming Nanolab Science Village. The move is described by Lars-Erik Wernersson [...]

We spoke with her about her research and ambitions, as she aims to foster more interdisciplinary collaborations within the ELLIIT environment.
"A crisp proposal" is requested during Almedalen talk on semiconductors
A discussion on semiconductors was on the agenda in Almedalen. The dialogue, hosted by LTH at Lund University, addressed how Sweden can contribute to the efforts being made in Europe. One of the conclusions of the discussion was "the crisper the proposal – the more policy influence".
