Hello, Martin Andersson – tell us about your journey towards a competence centre
In mid-September, Professor Martin Andersson held a lunch seminar presenting the Competence centre AdTherM, of which he is also Deputy Director. The seminar attracted 25 participants from the Energy Transition profile area and focused on how the competence centre was created and how it is organised.
An excursion focusing on aerosol research
The profile area Aerosols focuses on strengthening its community and on promoting a better understanding of the members’ activities. As a part of this initiative, the profile area has arranged a day trip to Lund University's School of Aviation in Ljungbyhed and the ACTRIS measurement site Hyltemossa.
Workshop about water system integration
A workshop about a new collaboration area between Lund University and Imperial College London has been held in September 2024.
