Together we can strengthen research and growth in sustainable industry
If Swedish companies are to continue to be among the world’s best in delivering safe and resource-efficient products, there is a need for collaboration between academia and industry, where leading edges can meet.

International exchanges that make a difference
At a time of global challenges, we need to examine complex problems from various perspectives and starting points – to find the solutions that work best.

Knowledge boost from successful pilot project
The Affiliated Competence project is coming to an end and LTH wants to continue using the model that provides individuals, companies, and academia a chance to increase our knowledge and sharpen our competence. We are seeing an impact that we could not have imagined when the project began, writes LTH's dean, Annika Olsson.
The establishment of activities in Science Village is now taking shape
The Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering (LTH) are creating a joint office for campus development.
