IVA's ‘100 list’ was launched in conjunction with its 100th anniversary in 2019. The selection committee consists of over 60 qualified individuals from academia, business, and the public sector.
This year, the Academy highlights a variety of research projects from Swedish universities, under the theme ‘Technology in the service of humanity - innovation through interdisciplinary science’. In total, 103 projects from 22 different universities and research institutes in Sweden were selected. Lund University had the third-highest number of projects after KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Chalmers University of Technology.
“This demonstrates our continued ability to conduct research with great potential for utilisation. We are incredibly proud of Lund's extensive research capacity and our ability to transform it into concrete societal benefits and commercial opportunities,” says Niclas Nilsson, Director of Innovation at Lund University's innovation office.
