Rare copy of Copernicus book found at the University Library!
A rare discovery of the book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium by astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus has been made at the Lund University Library in Sweden. The book had seemingly been hiding in plain sight for over 100 years, and was only discovered when over 800,000 library catalog cards were digitised.

Workshops on AI and higher education 2026
The Department for Higher Education Development (AHU) is offering a series of workshops/seminars on AI and higher education during the spring of 2026.
The workshops combine practical, exploratory elements with discussions. Before the seminars, participants will prepare by reading and reflecting on texts that will then be discussed at the meetings. All sessions will be largely based on participants' interests, questions and experiences of AI and its effects on teaching and higher education.
