Anna-Karin Thorstensson

Head of Unit, Communications Officer

I´m Head of Research Communication and Media Relations. Together with my colleagues, I work to spread awareness about the research conducted at the university. It is my contribution to making the world we live in a little better.

Head of Research Communication and Media Relations

At our university, there is so much exciting activity going on. Through the press service, which falls under my responsibility, we help spread news about everything from successful colleagues and current education programs to new research findings through press releases and media contacts. We strive to respond quickly to journalists' inquiries and to help them find the right person when they are looking for someone at our university. We also support our colleagues at LiU in their interactions with the media.

In the field of research communication, we work broadly to disseminate the latest research. I coordinate the strategic research communication efforts and collaborate with researchers across our university. My colleagues work both centrally and close to the core activities, publishing news and reports via liu.se, our digital channels, LiU magazine, and other publications. We offer workshops in, among other things, popular science writing for doctoral students and researchers. Among our collaborations is "ForskarFredag" a part of European Researchers’ Night in Sweden a collaboration with Public & Science Sweden.

I am a member of the Swedish Research Council's (Vetenskapsrådet) reference group for research communication.
