Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about Lund University’s Science Village Establishment
Updates regarding Stage 1: Nanolab Science Village
Earlier this spring, Sparbanksstiftelsen Finn granted 8 million SEK for new equipment for Nanolab Science Village. This instrument provides Nanolab with the ability to deposit materials with better control and represents another important step towards a well-equipped laboratory that can contribute to both cutting-edge research and solutions to the significant challenges in climate, environment, and medicine.
What’s happening next for Stage 2?
The project group is working with two sharp deadlines this semester – delivering a scope proposal in October and a premises programme for Stage 2 in December. Learn more about the project group’s planned activities for this autumn:

About the design-driven dialogues
During the spring, “design-driven dialogues” were organized with participants from various parts of the organization. Two blog posts, including an interview with Project Manager Charlotta Turner and LU Building representative, as well as Project Manager for the Campus Development Office, Charlotte von Brömssen, are now available on the blog. The first blog post attempts to summarize the spring workshop series:

Interview: “The design dialogues have provided us with several embryos of what can be done together”
LU Campus Tour
At the end of August, the project group organized an “LU Campus Tour” to explore renovations and new constructions carried out on Lund University’s own campus. The aim was to inspire and provide insights to internal change processes, including Science Village establishment, within the Faculty of Science. The tour sparked many new thoughts and ideas:
