The kitchen table belonged to the then dean of LTH Thomas Johannesson, who had invited the founder of IKEA to his house to discuss a collaboration between the desig

It can take a long time between words and action at the University, sometimes a little too long. This is one of the reasons the University management has developed a platform for strategic work.

Five years after the opening of the prestigious Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine, nothing has turned out as planned. The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers.
