Tracking climate shocks to build future resilience
What can past climate extremes teach us about resilience? Researchers at SLU’s Interdisciplinary Academy 2025-2026 are studying long-term data on climate, farming, soils, and society to uncover patterns that could help us adapt to future challenges.
Chantal is making crop production more sustainable in Rwanda
“Sweden is opening my eyes from different angles,” says Chantal Uwituze, a PhD student from the University of Rwanda currently visiting SLU.
A global project offers new insights into biodiversity
Fieldwork for the ambitious Lifeplan project has now been completed. Over six years, teams across the world have collected vast amounts of data on life on Earth.
Most recently published projects
-
Pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria and vaccine development
The bacteria we study belong to the genera Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. These bacteria include important pathogens that cause various diseases in both animals and humans. -
New antibiotics from microorganisms
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become a major threat to human health. New effective antibiotics are needed to treat these bacteria. This research project aims to find new antibiotic secondary metabolites in bacteria and fungi that can be developed into new antibiotics. -
Network for novel remote sensing technologies in forest disturbance ecology - RESDiNET
The project’s aim is to strengthen cooperation between Slovakia and the Nordic countries, focusing on new remote sensing techniques to combat insect damage in forests.

The Eye’s Fragile Window: Research for rapid and reliable treatment of corneal ulcers in animals
The cornea is the eye’s window to the world and its first line of defence. Ingeniously built but highly vulnerable, it requires swift and accurate treatment when injured. Researchers in Sweden are now working to improve treatment of corneal ulcers in our most cherished animal species. -
New book about moose and humans
"Moose and people during 8000 years in Sweden" is a popular science book about the king of the forest. The authors are researchers at SLU. -
On the road to a better life for cats – where is today's osteoarthritis research heading?
Over the years, cats have gone from “anonymous” barn animals to beloved family members. Today, they are our most common pets and—like humans—cats are living longer than ever. Knowledge about age-related diseases is therefore increasingly important, not only for a long life, but a good one.

Introduction to automatic forage stations and measurement of forage intake rate in an active stable for horses
Interest in the use of open barns on Swedish horse farms is increasing as an alternative to keeping horses in box stalls. What is the best way to introduce new horses to the facility's automated feeding system? -
Faecal bacterial composition in horses with and without free faecal liquid
Free faecal liquid (FFL) is a condition in horses which manifests as differential defecation of solid and liquid phases of faeces. The etiology of FFL is currently unknown, but deviances in the hindgut microbiota has been suggested to be of importance. -
GenTORE
In the EU project GenTORE, we developed and tested genomic tools to optimize resilience and efficiency at the animal and system levels.
