Vi var en liten delegation från Lunds universitet som reste till Porto och ”Annual Summit 2021” för att få möjlighet att diskutera utmaningar och möjligheter inför framtiden. De frågor som diskuterades var bland annat mobilitet mellan lärosätena, det livslånga lärandet och hur vi kan sammanfläta forskning och utbildning. Den 13–15 oktober hölls det första fysiska mötet på nästan två år inom vårt e

Frågan ”Hur kan man som universitet vässa sin innovationsmiljö”, var på agendan vid LERU-mötet ”Policy group enterprise and innovation” härom veckan. Universiteten i Europa har börjat positionera sig tydligare i vilken roll universiteten kan, och kanske rent av ska ta, i just innovationsarbetet framöver. I denna fråga har Lunds universitet all anledning att dra nytta av sitt väl upparbetade arbete
