Rector's blog: LTH in the future!
"In the previous blog post, I discussed cooperation and earlier that LTH is training people for future professions. But within what fields are we cooperating and what exactly are we training people for?
LTH recently approved its strategic plan, and at the same time, we have been working on a communication strategy. Both Lund University’s and the LTH’s strategic plans mention global challenges and how these are to be a guiding light. Are we doing this because it’s trendy and topical? Possibly, but I think it stems more from a desire to be relevant."
