Sociologist Lisa Flower has been awarded research funding from the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant, a prestigious EU grant awarded to early career researchers. Three other researchers at Lund University have also been awarded the grant.

Lisa Flower's research will lead to a better understanding of how trials are affected by virtual elements, such as witnesses participating via video link instead of physically in the courtroom. Lisa Flower hopes to put Lund University on the map for research on virtual justice.
