Advanced Study Groups 2025

På svenska
The Pufendorf IAS gives researchers from different disciplines at Lund University an opportunity to work together. Advanced Study Groups (ASGs) meet on ad-hoc basis at the institute on research problems at a very early stage.

Research Infrastructures – sustainability dimensions and critical perspectives

Large research infrastructures are crucial for advanced research and thereby solving sustainability challenges facing humankind. But they also affect society in other ways.

Storytelling – from cell to society

Storytelling surrounds us and we love it. We tell stories, we listen to them, and we study them and our interpretation of them. It has been intensely studied throughout history, but with little interaction between academic disciplines.

Creative Data Lab

We need open science, digitalisation of research outcomes and processes. There is also a growing emphasis on user-friendly platforms supporting cross-disciplinary collaborations. But artistic research data management (ARDM) has its own challenges – and opportunities.

Moving Minds: Segmentation, Rhythm and Categorization of Action

What if rhythm could help us communicate, learn – or even diagnose disease? Movement and rhythm are central to how we live, from walking and speaking to dancing and connecting with others. How do we perceive, describe, and replicate movement?

The Art of Supervision: Interdisciplinary perspectives on doctoral supervision

What if PhD supervision could be more creative – and more human? By blending artistic methods with academic insight, supervision could be redefined: not as a top-down task, but as a shared journey of growth.

Computational Science Curricula

How do we shape higher education for a world driven by computational methods? As computational science becomes essential across disciplines, we need to rethink how we design, structure, and support education in this rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field.

Agriculture in the future – society, safety and health

Agriculture in the 21st century faces multiple challenges. An ongoing war in Europe, climate change, a growing global population and changing diets are driving up the demand for food.

Online hate speech rhetoric

There are different forms and early signs of online hate speech rhetoric among young adults on TikTok in Sweden. Subtle cues can trigger strong emotional responses. What if we could spot hate speech before it causes harm?
