Linköping University
Linköping University is renowned for its innovative educational spirit and its long-standing tradition of interdisciplinary studies and research. LiU has its educational roots in the late 1960s and is now one of Sweden’s larger academic institutions. Our strategic enterprises reflect the dual criteria of scientific relevance and of being of benefit to the public.
Seeing the world with new eyes: Biosynthetic corneas restore vision in humans
A new study from researchers in Sweden and Canada has shown that biosynthetic corneas can help regenerate and repair damaged eye tissue and improve vision in humans.
International guest professors on their way
The over twenty guest professors recruited to support LiU’s research are arriving during the autumn. Their main task is to strengthen LiU’s scientific publication effort.
Fast food diet puts you on a diet for years
A diet of burgers and fries can leave a mark for years afterwards. Over-eating for just four weeks can increase fat mass and weight over two years later.
Decision close on tuition fees
Linköping University (LiU) will soon make a decision on tuition fees for overseas students. The introduction of fees will most likely lead to fewer students, a hefty loss of revenue and a sharp reduction in courses on offer.
Warmer weather makes lakes emit more carbon dioxide
A warmer climate will lead to the world’s lakes releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The storage of carbon dioxide in the lakes’ bottom sediment is strongly dependent on temperature levels. This is demonstrated by LiU researcher David Bastviken and a group of Uppsala scientists in an article in the journal Nature.
