Dean’s blog: "We are not stronger alone"

I want to welcome companies and organisations – and LTH alumni – to contact me and LTH if you want to collaborate and join us on the journey towards a better world, together towards the Agenda 2030 goals and to benefit the world, writes Dean of LTH Annika Olsson.

At LTH, we conduct research and education across boundaries in a number of transitions, such as the transition to new energy systems, biobased and renewable materials, circular systems and much more. To meet the Agenda 2030 goals, we need academia and industry to work together, writes Dean of LTH Annika Olsson in her blog.

"After my years in both industry and academia, I have clearly seen that academia and industry are two units that can reinforce one another, by complementing one another and combining relevant expertise.

Research and companies often have knowledge and highly specialised expertise in separate fields, and their full utilisation generates sharper knowledge which reaches further in solving complex problems and challenges."
