At Linköping University, knowledge is something not only to be created and collected but also to be shared. This lecture series was developed by the University Library in collaboration with the vice-rector for Research, Matts Karlsson. Via a series of lunchtime lectures, the aim is to disseminate knowledge to the general public, LiU employees and students on a general theme every term. Do you know what is just around the corner at your university?
Everybody is welcome to join us in Lövverket in Studenthuset, Campus Valla. All lectures can also be followed via live stream and viewed online retroactively.
Democracy and Academic Freedom: How Can We Save the World?
In an era dominated by geopolitical conflicts, economic uncertainty, and a pervasive sense of insecurity, one question stands out: What can we do to reverse this trend—and how can we ensure that the solutions are democratic and inclusive?
At Linköping University, we tackle these challenges with courage, innovation, and a clear focus on democracy. Every researcher and research team contributes in concrete, interdisciplinary ways to building a more stable, just, and sustainable world. But what does this look like in practice?
Welcome to a series of open lectures with leading academics and scholars!
