You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Linnaeus University (LNU)''' (((lang-sv|Linnéuniversitetet))) is a state [[university]] in the Swedish historical province (''landskap'') [[Småland]], with campuses located in [[Växjö]] and [[Kalmar]]. Linnaeus University was established in 2010 by a merger of former '''Växjö University''' and '''Kalmar University''' (''Högskolan i Kalmar''), and is named in honour of the Swedish botanist [[Carl Linnaeus]].<ref name=ne />

== History ==
Växjö University began as a local department of [[Lund University]] in 1967. The department became an independent [[högskola|university college]] in 1970 and was granted full university status in 1999.

Kalmar University was similarly a university college, founded in 1977. Though not a university by the Swedish definition, it had been entitled to issue doctoral degrees in the natural sciences since 1999.

[[Image:SWE Kalmar, Linneuniversitetet 016.jpg|thumb|LNU's campus in Kalmar]]

==Logo==
The university's logo is a stylized tree. The origin is a drawing made by the Swedish scientist [[Carl Linnaeus]] taken from his 1725 publication ''Örtabok''.<ref>((cite web |title=Symbol |url=https://lnu.se/medarbetare/stod-och-service/kommunikation-och-marknadsforing/designmanual/ |website=Linnaeus University |access-date=24 January 2021 |archive-date=25 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201025172529/https://lnu.se/medarbetare/stod-och-service/kommunikation-och-marknadsforing/designmanual/ |url-status=live ))</ref> While the tree is said to be a symbol  of May and to represent the power of growth, it also symbolizes the university's ambition to be a global university with the region as its base and the world as its arena.

== Campus ==
There are two campuses, one in [[Växjö]] and one in [[Kalmar]].<ref name=ne />

===Kalmar===
Linnaeus University is located at Universitetskajen, newly built premises in center of Kalmar. The official opening of Universitetskajen took place in 2021.<ref>((Cite web |date=2021-08-27 |title=The Grand Opening of Universitetskajen |url=https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/This-is-linnaeus-university/invigning-universitetskajen-2021/ |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=Lnu.se |language=en))</ref> 

The Department of Biology and Environmental Science in Kalmar has special competence in the area of life, health and the environment. The School offers Master’s programmes.

=== Växjö ===
The campus is located just outside Växjö city center. It was designed in the American campus style, such that all teaching premises are within walking distance. The campus borders a nature conservation area.

There are 3,700 student apartments and dorm rooms on the university campus housing approximately 4,600-5,200 students. A part of the university campus is dedicated to the Videum Science Park. The park gives space to over 100 companies, thus being close to the university it encourages innovation and research.

Teaching premises and accommodation stand side by side on the campus. There are also restaurants, cafés, bars, a sports centre and a variety of service facilities. The campus offers a safe, relaxed environment despite the high level of activity. It is bordered by meadows, a nature conservation area, a lake with bird-watching towers, and [[Teleborg Castle]].

==Department of Biology and Environmental Science==
The Department of Biology and Environmental Science is part of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. Scientists working at the department are involved in research and teaching activities in Biology, Biomedical Science, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Food Science, and Environmental Science. Most of the research laboratories and classes are operated in Kalmar. It offers seven Bachelor programs (in Swedish) and four Master programs.

A non-comprehensive list of the research group operating with the school include:
* [[Applied biochemistry research group]] (Prof. Sten Ohlson)
* [[Bioorganic and Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory]] (Prof. [[Ian A. Nicholls]])
* [[Nutrient sensing and phosphate transport in ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae''. Biochemistry Research Group]] (Prof. Bengt Persson)
* [[Computational Chemistry and Biochemistry Research Group]] (Dr. Ran Friedman)
* [[Environmental Engineering and Recovery Department]] (Prof. William Hogland)
* [[Marine Ecology Research Group]] (Prof. Edna Graneli)
* [[Plant Biochemistry/Plant Biotechnology Research Group]] (Prof.Peter Brodelius)
* [[Virology Research Group]] (Prof. Michael Lindberg)
* [[Zoonotic Ecology Research Group]] (Dr. Jonas Waldenström)

==Notable alumni==
*[[Malik Bendjelloul]] (1977–2014), Swedish journalist and filmmaker
*[[Rolph Payet]] (b. 1968), Seychelles politician
*[[Andriy Tsaplienko]] (b. 1968), Ukrainian journalist and filmmaker

===Honorary degree===
*[[Margareta Strömstedt]] (1931−2023), Swedish writer (PhD, 2007)
