    Lund Conference on Earth System Governance - Towards a Just and Legitimate Earth System Governance: Addressing Inequalities Lund April 18-20, 2012 Lund University has a long and vibrant history covering almost 350 years of teaching and research with currently around 47 000 students and a position of excellence in international teaching and research. At Lund University, the diversity is great and the opportunities endless. The wide range on offer within education and research, along with the compact nature of the university campus provides great potential for cross-disciplinary collaborations – collaborations that are necessary to meet global challenges and social problems now and in the future. LUCSUS, the Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, was founded in 2000 as a cross-faculty LUCSUS organization, providing an interdisciplinary arena for Lund University Centre for research and education in sustainability science. LUCSUS Sustainability Studies employs about 35 researchers and support staff, and is also funding researchers at several other departments. In sustainability science we focus on questions related to local implications of the global challenges of development and environment. Our core consists of the trans-disciplinary international graduate school in sustainability science, comprising a Master’s program (www.lumes.lu.se) and a PhD program (www.lucid.lu.se). Our research covers wide-ranging themes such as the science/policy interface in connection with climate change; governance of water, land use and biodiversity in Africa and Latin America; gender and power in African development discourses; collective action and social entrepreneurship in Africa; food (in)security; sustainability assessment tools and methods. Funding of research projects is generated through large collaborative EU projects under FP-6 and FP-7 as well as Swedish research councils.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 13 (2013), pages 28–38 Academical Dress in Sweden By Klaus Solberg Søilen f there is little written on the subject of academical dress in Sweden it is because it has never played a major role in academic ceremonies in this country, or for that matter Iin any of the Nordic countries.1 We are reminded of this for example when comparing Swedish academical dress to the colourful displays of the robes and gowns in Anglo-Saxon countries. Instead the history of Swedish academical dress is primarily a story about in- signia, beginning with what to wear on one’s head. The insignia used in Swedish academic ceremonies are, besides the hat, the laurel wreath, the ring and the diploma. Of these it is the laurel wreath which is particular to the Swedish system, recalling the many portraits depicting Dante Alighieri.2 Of course the tradition of the laurel wreath is much older than Renaissance Italy, going back to Greek mythology.
