The call is aimed at post-doctoral positions within various cross-disciplinary projects. The projects are not merely intended to be platforms for the post doc´s career development but shall also constitute a base for national and European research funding applications and for future excellence centers. Potential projects are to be proposed by researchers at Lund University. A project must involve a minimum of three faculties at Lund University. Collaboration with external stakeholders will be considered favorably. A ranking will be implemented by an external evaluation panel. The call will open on Tuesday 16 March and more information is to be published on the webpage of the Research Board. Deadline for application is 7 May. So, time to make use of your networks!

Transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA (Schrems II)
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) underlines that agents considering the transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA (referred to as third countries) must first ensure that this data has essentially equivalent protection in the country to which it is to be transferred. This means that transfer to a third country needs to be identified and assessed as to whether the legal conditions are still met. The transfers can regard issues such as when personal data is transferred to a third country within the framework of a research collaboration. The transfer of personal data between the EU and EEA and the United Kingdom can continue in its present form until mid-year 2021. Please address any questions to the Data Protection Officer at Lund University.

Survey on commute by car
We are a group of students studying a course within the master's in applied climate strategy, where we have the task of developing Lund University's sustainability plan. Within the framework of the project, we would like to investigate how university-employees who commute to work by car respond to changes in parking policies. The google-survey is linked below and takes 3 minutes to complete.
