What makes LiU special is the lack of boundaries between different subjects and faculties, which has resulted in world-leading research environments and companies. We address issues where the results can benefit all of society.

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories.

In 1970, Ulla Riis joined LiU as a new lecturer in education. She was encouraged to pursue doctoral studies by the first professor in the subject. At the Academic Ceremony, she will now, more than fifty years later, become a jubilee doctor.

This spring’s Academic Celebrations will take place on 23-24 May. Among the highlights are the performance of a new piece of music composed in honour of the university, and open lectures by thonorary doctors, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Snus users who stopped using snus experienced higher blood pressure and gained weight. This has been shown by a research group at Linköping University in a study on 33 people.

Blood. Engineers. Housewives. The list of subjects Boel Berner, professor emerita at LiU, has taken an interest in is long and still growing. She is now awarded the Ingemar Ingemarsson interdisciplinarity prize.

Having a holistic approach to all construction projects in a city is the most important factor for minimising disturbance. But that is easier said than done. This is shown by researchers from LiU in a new book.

Five projects at LiU receive funding when the Kamprad Family Foundation rewards research that can contribute to a better environment and better quality of life for the elderly. The projects at Linköping University are very much about sustainability.

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from industry can be reduced by five per cent. But that requires companies and policy makers to take a holistic approach to energy efficiency. This is the conclusion of researchers, including from LiU.

Researchers at LiU have developed a type of pipette that can deliver ions to individual neurons without affecting the sensitive extracellular milieu. The technique can provide important insights into how individual braincells are affected.
