Welcome back to a new termAfter a quiet August at Fysicum, everyone is back. Lund is once again a lively city, and there are more student activities at Fysicum than just resits. Last week, a mischievous group of students caused a commotion in the office corridor, but we will soon get used to it again. And of course it's nice to have the students back! Some are here for the first time, and the new
‘It's about feeling safe.’ That's roughly how the advert broadcast in Denmark during my youth went. I'll avoid mentioning the company behind it, although I agree with the message: we need to feel reasonably safe in order to be creative and dare to look beyond short-term solutions.Security is a broad concept. It can mean not being exposed to violence, threats or unpleasantness in the workplace. It
I have taken part in many interviews during the autumn, and especially when the candidates come from the business world, there are often jokes about how slow the decision-making processes are in the academic world. Even those of us who work at the university can sometimes feel frustrated by the seemingly endless processes. This is often attributed to collegial leadership – where we strive to ensur

RelevanceOne of the strengths of the Department of Physics is that we have a wonderful mix of pure basic and applied research, and everything in between - sometimes commissioned, but otherwise initiated by the researchers. We should therefore have a wide range of possible topics that can fit in with the expectations and desires of students and society, and we have every chance of attracting the be
Work environment issues are often divided into the physical work environment, including safety, and the psychosocial work environment. The physical work environment is easier to regulate and monitor. You need to be trained to handle chemicals in a laboratory, we have regular safety rounds and if something happens (like at the nano lab recently), there are routines and procedures in place to limit
On government governanceThe question of what is the best form of governance for Sweden's universities has been discussed in the research bill, in the research community and in the media. Lund University is a government agency, for better or worse. The advantage is that in well-funded times, the form of government agency ensures stable funding and support, and places demands on maintaining a high s
Communication is difficultA not uncommon scenario for me in my role as head of department is that I think that all information has gone out in a case, but then I later hear that key people have not received the information.
