Seminar: Plants to the rescue? Roles of plants to mitigate climate change
We will celebrate this year’s Fascination of plants day on the 18 of May with a seminar with the theme ”Plants to the rescue? Roles of plants to mitigate climate change”. This will be an open meeting in Lund from 15:00 in Blå Hallen in the Ecology building (Sölvegatan 37) where we hope to attract students and those interested. The invited speakers are Marie Nyman, retiring Chief Secretary of Gentekniknämnden, Eva Johansson, director of SLU Grogrund, Martin Sykes, professor emeritus in plant ecology, and Eva Tornberg, professor emeritus and founder of Veg of Lund.
It is also a great chance to coffee mingle with our incoming director, Federico Gomez, and maybe also our new coordinator!
Welcome!
You can now apply for the Master's program in Food Systems
The Master’s Program in Food Systems is part of the collaboration within the EIT Food, a major European staking to develop a future sustainable and competitive food system. The two-year program focuses on sustainability and entrepreneurial skills, and the students will develop in-depth knowledge about food systems through studying consecutively at three distinct European academic institutions and use their knowledge to drive the future transformation of the food system. The first 15 students will be admitted to Lund university in the autumn semester of 2022.
The deadline for applications is March 30th for non-EU and overseas, and June 25th for EU and UK.
Welcome to the conference "Data driven food research and innovation"
Learn about how we can improve precision in food production (from farm to table) and consumption (behaviour, sensory, and health) using data driven approaches. Including presenters from both industry and academy.
In addition, at the conference you will get the latest findings in food science by listening to PhD-students within the national graduate school in food science – LiFT.
The conference is arranged as a digital event and you will receive a link to the conference one day prior to the event.
Registration is now open:
