5ANNUAL REPORT 2011

A successful jubilee year

Over the past year we have celebrated the fifty years of LTH in many different ways. This is part of our workto increase our visibility. Our media analyses show thatwe succeeded very well. Increased visibility helps us to demonstrate our profile. We produced a report of our activities over the past 50 years in the form of the jubilee book “50 years with LTH” (50 år med LTH).

When we celebrate a jubilee, it is not only us who are important, but also all those who have studied here, those who have worked here and those with whom we have worked and work. A highlight of the celebrations was our alumni party, which attracted 1 600 guests. It is encouraging and inspiring that our alumni think LTH is important. Another highlight was the party for friends of LTH, at which we received a donation from our closest friends in the business world for a jubilee chair in Industrial Economics. Of course money is important, but the most important thing is the commitment of the companies. If there are good ideas and someone who is passionate about them, the rest always falls into place.At LTH there are plenty of lecturers and researchers who are passionate about their ideas. The jubilee year was gilded with the appointment of five honorary doctors who reflect LTH’s broad field of activity. One of them has gone on to become Minister for the Environment, which made us especially proud.

Our School of Architecture was able to move into newly renovated premises with new opportunities to develop its activities.

At the start of the year, a new Higher Education Ordinance entered into force. This led to an intensive pe-riod of work on appointment rules, rules of procedure, governance, organisation, etc. Work is still ongoing and is being implemented into our day-to-day activities as different stages are completed.

There is a lot of discussion about ranking of higher education institutions. It is nice to read comments in the daily press such as: “The students at LTH in Lund have reason to be pleased. According to a new ranking (URANK) they study at the best university [in Sweden] in the Engineering/Science category”.

We are facing an increasing number of challenges. Decisions have already been taken on the research faci-lities ESS and Max IV, and during the year Ideon Medi-con Village was added to the list. AstraZeneca’s former premises are to be filled with research and enterprise in fields including life science and cancer research. As one person put it, “we are building a new CERN in Lund”. We are making investments today, the fruits of which we will reap in ten years’ time.

Things are going well for LTH: very high competition for places on our study programmes, plenty of research funding, conscientious students, good teaching staff and skilful researchers. Everything is held together by efficient administration. The downside is that we provi-de far more teaching than our mandate requires, termed ‘overproduction’. The accrued research grants and public agency capital also displease the University Board and Ministry of Education.

After many meetings at all levels of the organisation, we have put together a new strategic plan. It seems highly appropriate to start our next 50 years with an updated strategic plan! Our vision is based on that in the Lund University strategic plan and is as follows:

A cross-boundary faculty of engineering within a world-class university that understands, explains and improves our world and conditions for humanity.

Anders Axelsson, Dean of LTH

6 ANNUAL REPORT 2011

The situation for first- and second-cycle education at LTH can

be summarised in the following three points:

» high number of applicants per place on all programmes

» conscientious students

» a high rate of graduate employment

A perfect situation! However, it is almost too good, as we

even educate more students than we get paid for!

There are many reasons why first- and second-cycle educa-

tion at LTH is doing so well. Behind the good results are not

only good students, but also skillful lecturers and well-struc-

tured programmes. This is the result of long-term recruitment

work, many years of investment in educational development

and well-functioning course and programme administration.

There are many people involved in these various activities:

the communications department with its information offi-

cers, the academic development unit (Genombrottet) with

its teaching consultants and student services where staff in

different roles offer service to students. Not least, there are

the lecturers, who inspire and encourage the students they

meet to learn.

The number of students graduating from many of our study

programmes is increasing. This can be explained by a fall in

the number who withdraw from their studies, but also by the

fact that some students may have drawn out their studies

because of the recession or, on the engineering program-

mes, because they have chosen to extend their studies by a

semester by transferring to the five-year programme that was

introduced in autumn 2007. The first students who took the

new engineering programme from the start are expected to

graduate in spring 2012.

The statistics also show that the number of Bachelor’s de-

grees in Engineering is increasing, which is especially pleasing

because many studies report that there is a very high demand

for this qualification in industry.

In autumn 2011 the first 40 students were admitted to the

new programme in Biomedical Engineering. The programme

is popular, with many applicants, and there are a roughly

equal number of male and female students on the pro-

gramme.

In 2012 a slightly different structure will be launched in first-

and second-cycle education. A number of the programme

management structures and boards will be replaced and

there will be a new vice-dean for first- and second-cycle

education. I have enjoyed four exciting and productive years

and will now be moving my focus to other areas.

10 ANNUAL REPORT 2011

No-one was to miss the fact that LTH was celebrating its

50th anniversary. The students’ union, Teknologkåren, was

therefore brought in. This ‘hit’ Stefan Elfborg in particular,

who held the voluntary position of master of ceremonies and

was therefore responsible for party planning.

From November 2010 he was part of the group that planned

the jubilee. He has been highly praised for his efforts by the

management of LTH.

During the spring semester, he and Julia Mauritsson put

on around ten pub nights, “LTH-50 After Work”, featuring

‘stand-up scientists’. The initiative did not reach all students,

but around 20 people came each time and new contacts were

made between students and staff, Stefan points out.

“The alumni party for 1 600 guests and the house party for

700 employees and students in September were naturally our

two biggest commitments. I think we managed them well

and had good teamwork. My duties included checking all

the licences with the municipality and the fire authorities; fire

restrictions set the limits for the size of the party at Kårhuset.”

“Lisbeth Wester and Eva Nilsson, Communications and

Marketing, were responsible for the programme and graphic

designer Robin Poulsen toiled hard; he also provided the

music for the party with his band, Supersale, which was

highly appreciated. The lighting and catering were provided

by external suppliers. The Fire Protection Engineering

international degree projects society did a fantastic job as

bartenders and with everything else that needed doing. I

was in charge of contact with comedians, toast¬masters,

musicians and entertainers. The absolute best and most

successful event was the VIP party on 17 November.

“It has been a very interesting year; fun and educational and

has given me many new contacts and experiences”, says

Stefan Elfborg. He is especially pleased that he worked full-

time, if voluntarily, and studied full-time without missing more

than one course. He is now finishing the Civil Engineering

programme specialising in Building Physics with a degree

project on energy analysis.

In 2011, application and tuition fees were introduced for the

first time for students from countries outside the EU/EEA and

Switzerland. As expected, the number of new students on our

internationally-oriented Master’s programmes fell, from 160

to 109, of whom 39 were fee-paying students. This was in

line with our expectations. The aim is to achieve 100 paying

students within a year or two. Over the coming years the

programmes will be refreshed to give them a clear profile

aimed at a global job market and the information on the

website will be improved. Those who invest in studies at LTH

should get their investment back many times over.

LTH has been involved in two policy-oriented EU projects

in 2011. The EVALUATE-E project concerned joint degrees

between the EU and the US. The project showed LTH that

joint degrees must be based on fully integrated study

programmes. During 2012 Virginia Tech and LTH will begin

discussing such programmes. The ADDE SALEM project was

about how joint degrees between the EU and Latin America

could strengthen the employability of engineers in their home

country. Ultimately, the project aims to strengthen economic

ties between the continents.

Exchange studies are an important part of internationalisation

at LTH. During 2011 LTH has combined the main application

rounds, ERASMUS and other bilateral agreements, to create

one single application period. This is a step in simplifying the

application process, both for students and for the administra-

tion. We hope that in 2012 we will be able to take further

steps in this direction and also incorporate the university-wide

exchanges, LUUP, into the application round.

The balance of exchange continues to improve. This is because

the number of outgoing students is increasing, at the same

time as LTH restricts the number of incoming students outside

existing agreements.

From 2011, engineering students at LTH can study one semes-

ter of their third year abroad. This year 12 students from Bio-

technology, Computer Science, Environmental Engineering,

Industrial Engineering & Management and Civil Engineering

studied at the universities of Waterloo and Connecticut.

Three students were the first to begin studying for a double

degree in Japan, two at Keio University and one at Kyushu

University.

New exchange agreements were signed with the University

of Sydney (Architecture) and Dongguk University, Seoul and

a double degree agreement was signed within the T.I.M.E.

network with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

LTH’s quantitative target is that 25 per cent of those who

graduate from the long professional programmes should

have spent at least three months abroad. This could be in the

form of an exchange, a work placement or a degree project

undertaken abroad. In 2011 the figure was just over 21 per

cent. For engineering students, the figure exceeded 20 per

cent for the first time.

14 ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Third-cycle educationEducation Quality 2011 (EQ11), which aimed to raise the

quality of all education at Lund University, showed that the

University should focus on reinforcing quality in third-cycle

education. This will be an important task of the new univer-

sity-wide education board.

A new national graduate school in Architecture to strengthen

Swedish architecture research has been awarded funding

from FORMAS. The graduate school is coordinated by LTH.

A new, expanded introduction course for doctoral students

at LTH has been developed and is now given in English every

semester. The course has been very well received.

This year, 2011, output of research degrees at LTH has in-

creased again after the drop that resulted from the sharp

decline in the number of students admitted to third-cycle

education in 2004 and 2005. The number of new doctoral

students has increased since then, which is largely due to

the fact that LTH has been successful in attracting external

research funding. The proportion of women is around 30 %

and corresponds approximately to the proportion of women

on LTH’s study programmes.

The doctoral student section of Teknologkåren (TLTH) has pro-

vided active and committed members to the research boards,

research committees and faculty board, with a strong focus

on improving education.

Catharina Sternudd, lecturer and researcherThis year’s introduction of tuition fees for non-European

students did not particularly affect the international Master’s

programme in Sustainable Urban Design.

“The drop was less than we feared. But we have also worked

hard to promote the programme around the world”, says

Catharina Sternudd, lecturer and researcher in Architecture

at LTH.

Another event that affected her and her colleagues was the

renovation of A-huset. On 24 September they celebrated the

inauguration of the newly renovated building.

“The teaching rooms have been improved a lot and the new,

glass-roofed courtyard is really a boost. We use it for gathe-

rings, exhibitions and even lectures. It also functions as a short

cut, so there are always people moving through it”, she says.

Not only teaching, but also research in architecture got

a lift this year. The research council Formas announced

SEK 80 million for Swedish architecture research, of which

SEK 30 million for a national graduate school coordinated

by LTH.

“That was great. Now we can admit new doctoral students

and develop the research at the department. It has been dif-

ficult to obtain grants for architecture research for many years,

so this is a very welcome investment!”

Research at LTH continues to develop in a very positive

manner. LTH benefits greatly from being an important part of

Lund University’s strong research environments, where multi-

disciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation is developing

strongly.

The past year has seen a considerable increase in resources

for the strategic research areas; research groups from LTH

participate in 11 of the 12 areas awarded to Lund University.

The areas of greatest involvement for LTH are nanoscience and

nanotechnology; IT and mobile communication; e-science; and

manufacturing engineering. Coordinators, boards, academic

reference groups, consumer groups, communications officers

and administrators have been appointed and are operational.

The major investments in research infrastructure in Lund in

the form of MAX IV, ESS and Ideon Medicon Village will be

of great importance to LTH, while they will also require long-

term investments in research linked to these areas.

The principles for the financing of research infrastructure in

Sweden have been changed so that greater responsibility for

local infrastructure has been given to the universities, while

the national research infrastructure is financed at national

level by the Swedish Research Council (through the Council

for Research Infrastructures, RFI). In line with this, Lund

University has set aside funds for which the faculties can

apply, and LTH has received support for a number of faculty-

wide investments. The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation

(KAW), which has previously funded a significant proportion

of LTH’s infrastructure, will also be focusing on infrastructure

of national importance in the future.

At the same time, KAW has introduced a new excellence

programme with grants for research projects with high

scientific potential, where the universities are expected to

take major responsibility for prioritising and co-financing. LTH

made several applications in the first round, of which two in

physics were successful. In 2011 a new programme was also

announced for young researchers, the Wallenberg Academy

Fellows, which has already attracted a lot of interest.

Over the past year, LTH has received a number of major research

grants from the research councils, including several grants

for young researchers from the Swedish Research Council.

Researchers in the fields of computer science and electrical

engineering had great success in the Swedish Foundation for

Strategic Research (SSF) framework programme in electronics

and photonics systems. One researcher who has previously

received funding within the SSF Future Research Leaders

programme has also been awarded the title of Successful

Research Leader this year.

EU researchLTH’s researchers continue to be highly active in the EU’s

Seventh Framework Programme, which started in 2007. In

total, LTH researchers are involved in 62 of the University’s 192

projects, which corresponds to 32%. In total, these projects

are expected to bring in approximately EUR 28.6 million to

LTH in EU grants.

Our participation is spread across most of the research fields

in the Framework Programme, but it is strongest in Infor-

mation and Communication Technologies (ICT), followed by

Energy; Health; Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials &

New Production Technologies (NMP); and Food, Agriculture &

Fisheries, and Biotechnology (Food/KBBE). Three collaborative

projects involving several European institutions are coordina-

ted by researchers at LTH.

Four researchers at LTH have been awarded individual five-

year research grants from the European Research Council

(ERC). These grants have been won against very stiff

international competition. Three senior researchers, Professor

Anne L’Huillier, Atomic Physics, Professor Bengt Sundén, Heat

Transfer and Professor Marcus Aldén, Combustion Physics,

have been awarded ERC advanced grants and Professor

Fredrik Kahl, Mathematics, has been awarded an ERC starting

grant.

LTH’s researchers are also active in other EU-funded projects,

for example the energy research programme Intelligent Energy

Europe, the Public Health programme and Structural Funds

projects.

StaffIn total, the proportion of female professors and senior

lecturers has not increased. The important junior staff

categories such as research fellow/associate senior lecturer,

however, show an increase in the proportion of women, which

provides an opportunity to increase the total proportion of

female teaching staff at LTH. However, the proportion of

female doctoral students fell in 2011, even though there are

now more female doctoral students in total than in 2006.

Between 2006, 2009 and 2011 the proportion of women in

the above employment categories has changed somewhat.

However, the trend is rather unclear. The proportion of female

professors and senior lecturers has not increased since 2009.

For 2011, associate senior lecturers have been included in the

research fellows category (there were 10 women and 32 men

in the category excluding associate senior lecturers). In this

category we can see a slight increase since 2009.

The proportion of women in the researchers category

has increased the most. This group of employees almost

exclusively comprises recent PhD graduates on fixed-term

employment contracts. The proportion of women in the

lecturers category has increased somewhat since 2011.

Among doctoral students, however, the proportion of women

has fallen somewhat, even though the total proportion of

doctoral students on studentships has been increasing steadily

since 2006.

The professional development courses for lecturers in higher

education teaching and learning forms the core of the

academic development unit Genombrottet’s activities. In

2011, 280 LTH employees (155 lecturers and 125 doctoral

students) undertook a total of 600 weeks of qualifying

training. In addition, Genombrottet has given 60 weeks

of training in higher education teaching and learning for

participants from other sections of Lund University. As part

of all courses, project reports are submitted on various higher

education teaching and learning issues related to teaching at

LTH. A number of the projects have been presented externally

in different contexts. Genombrottet has also carried out

international professional development commissions.

Over the past year, Genombrottet has received a great deal

of attention both nationally and internationally through a

number of international visits to LTH.

At Lund University, Genombrottet’s activities have inspired

the Faculty of Social Sciences to implement its own Teaching

Academy.

Genombrottet also co-hosted this year’s Swednet (Swedish

Network for Educational Development in Higher Education)

conference on 4–6 May with CED and MedCUL.

In 2011 the LTH board approved a new third-cycle subject:

Engineering Education. This makes it possible for doctoral

students to study in the field of higher education teaching

and learning at LTH.

For Ulf Ellervik, every year is a year of chemistry. However,

as the United Nations decreed that 2011 should be the

International Year of Chemistry for everyone, there has been

an extreme amount of it this year, even for Ulf Ellervik. As

a Professor of Organic Chemistry and strong advocate of

popular science communication, he has led the University’s

activities to mark the occasion.

At the start of the year, Ulf Ellervik and his colleagues

arranged an art exhibition of chemistry images. In the spring,

he organised a panel discussion between researchers and

fashion bloggers on the chemistry of fashion. Towards the

end of the year, the University Building was transformed into

a market hall of food, food researchers, research-intensive

food industry and curious members of the public.

“There have been a lot of fantastic encounters. Many of us

have made many new contacts. Talking about clothes from

the perspective of chemistry and fashion, for example, was

extremely good fun”, he concludes.

As if that wasn’t enough, he has also published a popular

science book, “Evil Chemistry” (Ond kemi), which was

awarded the Royal Academy of Sciences’ newly established

Pi Prize for Swedish popular science literature.

LTH mostly appears in the media in connection with research.

It is also common that researchers appear in the capacity

of experts. Education generally generates less news, but the

high position of LTH’s programmes and courses in rankings is

sometimes mentioned. The University generally receives little

negative publicity – most is in the local press, which has a

clearer scrutinising role with regard to ‘its’ higher education

institution.

In the strongest national news media, including certain

prioritised industry publications, LTH featured in 176 articles/

features in 2011. A search for “Lunds Tekniska Högskola” in

the media archive generates almost 2 000 hits for the same

period. Over 40 press releases were sent out in the course

of the year.

Research that attracted a lot of attention during 2011

included: new technology to diagnose HIV, how air can reduce

fuel consumption, measurement equipment that could lead to

fewer power cuts, a new method of identifying relapse risk

for breast cancer, a solar panel that heats water, artichokes

becoming plastic in a new biorefinery, more environmentally

friendly textile dyeing, a laser that makes sure food is fresh,

a new test that could give SLE patients a more tolerable life,

indirect land use effects of biofuels, a water-saving shower

and an ingenious vacuum cleaner – the latter two being

degree projects. There was also coverage of LTH’s 50th

anniversary in the local and industry press.

for LTH researchers was not caused by one event, but several:

traffic researcher Anders Wretstrand commented on the fact

that it is more dangerous to travel by community transport

than by bus, Ulf Ellervik, Professor of Organic Chemistry, won

the Pi Prize, Per Tunestål, Professor of Combustion Engines,

talked about how compressed air can become fuel and Claus-

FinancesLTH has a plentiful supply of research funding, whereas the

funding for education does not cover expenditure.

Revenue in 2011 was SEK 1 577 million, of which SEK 536

million was for education. Net income for the year was SEK

4.7 million. However, the branches of our operations are

unbalanced, as education reported a deficit of SEK 34 million

while research reported a surplus of SEK 39 million. The public

agency capital – the accumulated income – was SEK 272

million (SEK 267 million in 2010), of which SEK 46 million (SEK

80 million in 2010) was for education and SEK 226 million

(SEK 187 million in 2010) was for research. Unused grants,

which are deferred to coming years, totalled SEK 606 million.

The significant increase in research grants in 2009 has not

yet brought a corresponding increase in expenditure for the

departments. The public agency capital in research, which

is mainly found at department level, therefore continues to

increase in 2011. However, a small reduction in deferred fun-

ding can be noted.

In 2011, LTH educated around 10% more students than stated

in our mandate, on which basis the finances for our opera-

tions are calculated. This is reflected in the deficit reported

for education. Since the majority of the public agency capital

for education is at faculty level, SEK 20 million of the capital

has been transferred to the departments in 2011. The same

procedure applies for 2012.

Extensive investments are being made to improve study envi-

ronments at LTH. In 2011 the renovation of both the Electrical

Engineering Building and the Architecture Building has been

completed. The majority of the investment expenditure has

been covered by the faculty’s education funding.

The requirements for co-financing of research grants and new

conditions for how overhead costs are to be financed will have

a major impact on research finances in the future.

While expenditure is rising, revenue is returning to the levels

seen prior to 2009. Net income fell by around SEK 70 million

between 2010 and 2011! It is therefore important that we

adapt our operations to the right expenditure level to avoid

getting into a situation of large deficits.
