Now the autumn semester starts and there will soon be full activities both in Lund on our new premises and at CRC in Malmö. It is always invigorating to feel that the pace increases and to meet everyone after the holidays. The fact that we have now gathered the entire faculty on one campus in Lund, when we recently opened the doors to Forum Medicum, makes it even better and provides the opportunity to also in Lund create the same sense of context and collegiality that already characterizes our campus in Malmö. And it's great to see all the happy faces after the summer.
Before the holidays, we also received the gratifying news that Lund University has climbed ten places to place 85 in QS's ranking of the world's top universities. It is a great success for the work we put in and which makes us a world-class university with international appeal, we should all be proud of that.
With these reflections at the start of the semester, I would like to wish everyone a fun and productive autumn.
