隆德大学：一切都已准备就绪
英文导读
Lund University was founded in 1666 as a step in the process of making Sk.ne Swedish and to demonstrate the re-establishment of Swedish control. Sweden has had， in the past， a turbulent history with Denmark. With the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658， Denmark lost the southern counties of Sk.ne， Blekinge and Halland to Sweden. There had previously been a Studium Generale (the equivalent of a university college) for priests in Lund， founded in 1438 and operational in the 16th century. The new university was given the name Regia Academia Carolina. At the beginning there were only four faculties—theology， law， medicine and philosophy. Around 1760， the university reputation dropped as the number of students fell below 200， most of whom hailed from around the province. The real rise of the University came during the 1780s. New chairs were established and the number of students increased. The campus reflects the University"s history， with magnificent buildings separated by cobbled streets and green spaces. Campus locations include Lund， Helsingborg， Malm. and Ljungbyhed. The main Lund University campus is located in the city of Lund. Voted the best place to live in Sweden， Lund is a safe city with the healthiest and youngest population in the country. The University is a strong influence on the city of Lund and several university buildings are located in the heart of the city. Sweden’s first and most successful research park， Ideon， is situated in Lund， and the country’s two largest research ventures， Max IV and ESS are to be located here. Lund Cathedral， dating from 1145， is one of the most popular attractions marking the centre of the city.
System： Lund University is divided into eight faculties： Faculty of Engineering， Faculty of Science， Faculty of Law， Faculty of Social Sciences， Faculty of Medicine， Faculties of Humanities and Theology， School of Economics and Management， Faculty of Fine & Performing Arts. It provides education and research in engineering， science， law， social sciences， economics and management， medicine， humanities， theology， fine arts， music and drama， etc.
Innovation： One of the most famous innovations based on research from Lund University is diagnostic ultrasound， which is today a routine method of examination in hospitals around the world. Other examples of pioneering innovations are the artificial kidney， which laid the foundations for the multinational company Gambro and which makes life easier for dialysis patients worldwide， and Bluetooth technology， which enables wireless communication over short distances.

中文概述
隆德大学位于瑞典最南部的隆德，是瑞典的一所公立大学，也是瑞典最富盛名及斯堪的纳维亚半岛上最大的教学研究高教机构之一，建于1666年，是现今瑞典境内第二古老的大学。隆德的学术传统可以追溯到中世纪的一所神学院。由于隆德当时是斯堪的纳维亚大主教的所在地，因此成了中世纪斯堪的纳维亚的思想中心。
隆德大学下设有八个学院，即工程学院、科学学院、法律学院、社会科学学院、医学院、人文与神学院、经济与管理学院以及表演艺术学院。涉及学科有自然科学、法律、社会科学、经济管理、医学、工程技术、人文科学、神学和艺术（包括音乐，美术和戏剧）等。
隆德大学在许多方面具有特色，如民主的视点，批判的思维，对全球环境的关注，以及对种族多样性和社会多样性的关注等。另外，改革思想与人文主义关照相结合以及幽默感也是隆德大学特有的价值观。
隆德市位于瑞典南部的斯科讷省（Sk.ne），该省自古以来就以文化著称，有瑞典最富饶的土地，也有瑞典最成功的公司。1103年隆德大教堂矗立起来，并成为大主教驻地，隆德也因此很快成为北欧基督教中心。现在的隆德是一个国际性城市，也是一个繁荣兴旺的文化科学城，它既重视古老的学术传统，又注重文化、教育和科研中的新动向、新思想。
