Collaboration

LTH has a part in world-unique infrastructure in the MAX IV facility and proximity to European Spallation Source (ESS). An interdisciplinary ecosystem is emerging around these facilities, with LTH and Lund University as a driving force.

LTH has a central location in the Öresund region, the Nordic region's largest transnational co-operation area in terms of population. There are close to four million inhabitants, prominent universities and colleges and a great demand for education, research, and innovation.

Together we explore and create – to benefit the world.
