Much of my work
right now relates to the comprehensive evaluation of LiU’s research to be
finalised in 2025. Referred to as LiRE25, this evaluation will take place in
three steps involving the collection of supporting data, a self-evaluation of
strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities for each separate research
area, and assessment panels including prominent researchers.
I am also working on how LiU's overall strategy (LiU –
with the courage to think freely and innovate), together with a new research
and innovation strategy, can improve LiU's position. Interdisciplinarity, for
example, is something of our trademark, but how can it be developed in the
future?
Other important issues include how future
infrastructure needs can be met for smarter use of LiU’s resources, the launch
of LiU’s profile areas and how to visibly and attractively develop our
sustainability perspective.
