Brazil: More than samba dancing

Brazil is more than samba dancing, football and sun-drenched beaches – and it’s more than rain forests and a controversial president. It’s also a country with important research and many talented scientists. Just ask Petter Krus.

Better results when AI and humans collaborate

Artificial intelligence that doesn’t take into account human operators creates problems. Now LiU researchers are building a system where AI and humans work together to control air traffic.

A drug from resin to combat epileptic seizures

New molecules, developed by researchers at Linköping University, have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy. A study published in the journal Epilepsia shows that several of the molecules have antiseizure effects.

Coronavirus spurred research across disciplines

As the corona pandemic swept across the world, virologists and protein chemists rapidly joined forces and started to collaborate. Together they were able to develop ways to test the immune response after infection, and help the healthcare system.

Vulnerable payment systems: when the customers can’t pay

What would happen if it was suddenly not possible to pay with a credit or debit card? As part of a research project, county administrators, politicians, and stores have played a simulation game, to help them prepare for handling an emergency.

Technology to stop poaching

The black market in rhinoceros horn is worth billions of dollars, and poaching is driving the species towards extinction. However, the drive against poaching is now to be given new impetus with the aid of the most recent technology.

Solving a double murder arouses international interest

The use of DNA-based genealogy to solve a double murder opens new possibilities in crime investigation. LiU researchers are spreading new knowledge about the technology, which brings hope to police forces and has aroused major international interest.

Per Jensen is awarded the NSS school collaboration prize

Per Jensen, professor of ethology, is the first to receive a newly established prize at the Faculty of Engineering, Linköping University: NSS School Collaboration Prize.

Pandemic models were inaccurate, but helped understanding

Several models of Covid-19 have been developed to predict the development of the pandemic in Sweden. A new report shows that the models helped us to understand the development of the pandemic, but at the same time it illuminates some deficiencies.

LiU research on IVA’s 100 List

With its focus on crisis preparedness and on society’s ability to manage these, the research programmes are assessed as having great potential to benefit society.

How networks reduce gender segregation

The social science literature has long viewed homophily and network-based job recruitments as crucial drivers of segregation, but researchers at Linköping University and ESADE, Ramon Llull University show that this view must be revised.

Creative collaboration with human rights organisation

LiU Innovation and the human rights organisation Civil Rights Defenders have been working together for two years on new innovation processes. LiU students have played a central role in the work.

Sweden’s fastest supercomputer for AI now online

Berzelius is now Sweden’s fastest supercomputer for AI and machine learning, and has been installed at NSC at LiU. A donation of EUR 29.5 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has made the construction possible.

Major new project for AI in digital pathology

The Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization participates in a major European collaboration for artificial intelligence in digital pathology. The project has received financing from the Innovative Medicines Initiative under Horizon 2020.

Robots aid in remanufacturing

Remanufacturing is a way to preserve the value of products that have already been manufactured. Researchers at Linköping University, LiU, have shown the potential of automation in repair and remanufacturing.

Aeronautical engineering of the future

The control systems in aircraft have been essentially unchanged for over 50 years. Now, however, the future of aeronautical engineering is taking shape at LiU. Researchers here are using an “iron bird” from Saab, equipped with the latest technology.

From LiU-research to LEAD-business

Many researchers and students have ideas that can grow into companies of benefit to society.But how do you determine whether an idea is good?A tip from the business incubator LEAD is to dare to talk about it early, and to assess interest.

Successful mentoring project brings hope

Lower secondary school pupils with better grades, a prouder gaze, and enhanced self-confidence. These are the results of the LuMiNk academy. LuMiNk has been underway in Norrköping for almost six years, and plans to make it available to more pupils.

Research collaboration in Östergötland to increase shipping efficiency

LiU and the Swedish Maritime Administration have established research collaboration to develop more sustainable, efficient and safe shipping operations based on such technology as artificial intelligence and interactive visualisation.

Östergötland’s future – forest fires and drought?

The Climate Change Megagame was held on 21 November. This is a huge online game that simulates future climate change in Östergötland, with participants playing the part of various local actors.

Eco-friendly transports - how?

More sustainable transport – how is it possible? Using new technology and fuel from renewable sources is not enough: how the transport is organised and how consumers act are just as important. Do you really need to have these goods tomorrow?

European collaboration for the future of learning

ECIU University is an initiative where students and researchers from all over Europe work together to create sustainable cities and communities. Linköping University is part of the initiative, which has been under way for one year.
