Lund University

aid: lund
name: Lund University
description: 'Lund University is a public research university in Lund, Sweden, founded in 1666 and ranked #74 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint centers on the Lund University Libraries'' research-output
  and open-metadata services, principally Lund University Publications (LUP), which exposes a JSON Search API, OAI-PMH harvesting,
  SRU/CQL search, an unAPI discovery service, and RSS feeds. The Lund University Research Portal is an external interface
  to the LUCRIS research information system built on Elsevier Pure. Administrative, identity (SWAMID/SAML federation), and
  student-information systems exist but are gated behind institutional affiliation rather than openly self-service.'
