Community
Community is the name of a new newspaper in English, describing what we do in BTH and our relation to the community around us. The first edition came in early October 2009. In 2010 we plan to have three editions; one in February, one in June and one in October.
In our first edition of Community Vice-Chancellor Ursula Hass and Chairman Akbar Seddigh give us their view on the term community. Leif Johansson, President and CEO of Volvo AB, answer five questions about sustainability and the teamwork between industry and the academic world. Sustainability is also the topic in the article about Professor Göran Broman. IT-security, gardening with altitude and plug-in-hybrid collaboration are examples of other topics among many, many more that are presented in this first edition.
