Welcome back to a new semester!The semester has barely begun and already we are rushing towards Kulturnatten. This year our talks will be on different perspectives on AI, so do come and bring your friends! Another piece of news is our new agreement with Media Evolution in Malmö, where our school just has signed an agreement giving us access to workplaces in their facilities. On the media front our researchers have been visible commenting among other things: The government decision to lower VAT on foodstuffs (Lars Jonung and Åsa Hansson), The French economy's troubles and its possible effects on the rest of the EU member states (Fredrik NG Andersson) and the future of Coop (Ulf Johansson). Finally, let's bring our creative sides to the fore! We are getting new stickers designed for the school and you are all encouraged to make your contributions. Take part in the sticker competition.
