LTH invests in the future LTH’s finances – good or bad? WE DID IT AGAIN! We did far too well! External research funding has continued to flow in and we have not been able to recruit new staff at the same rate. It also takes time to develop new infrastructure to equip new research fields. The mass media and the National Audit Office think it is bad practice to have so much unused funding left at the end of the year. Explaining this to outsiders is an educational challenge but we will try. LTH has a research budget of SEK 1 billion, of which almost 70 per cent is external research funding that our researchers apply for in competition with others. The first point to make is that we have done very well to attract so much research funding. At the same time, there is clearly an interest in what we do. The problem is that the economic in the form of direct government funding is so small. This creates insecurity, because a fall in research funding inevitably leads to a need to make redundancies. This is unsustainable, in particular with regard to doctoral students, who have guaranteed employment during their research studies.

2010 • ANNUAL REPORT
A wise research leader or head of department will make sure that there is financial security internally by creating a small reserve that can cover temporary reductions in external funding. In business it is possible to invest in property or shares, but in the autonomous university our only option is to pile up the money. The money cannot be transferred between different areas of activity either, because the research funding is awarded to carry out specific tasks. This is checked by the funding bodies in continual evaluations. In this “up-side-down economy”, I should be sad that we have a surplus of SEK 75 million for research. The fact that we have a surplus of SEK 5 million in first- and second-cycle education should rather be regarded as a small miscalculation in an education budget of SEK 500 million (i.e. a one per cent surplus). To be honest, despite everything, we are very pleased that our finances are good. A number of our heads of department remember redundancies when the finances were poor.
LTH invests in the future LUND AND LTH seem to be attractive – the number of applicants putting LTH as their first choice has risen by almost 10 per cent, which is much higher than for other schools of engineering in Sweden. Demographics and the recession may also explain the high number of applicants. Our students ‘over-produced’, that is to say, we exceeded the mandate for education that we have been given by the University. This is due to good students as well as to the extension of the engineering programmes to five years.
even during the anticipated demographic decline. In addition, we are increasing the number of women in classic ‘male’ vocational programmes. SEK 15 million was set aside to improve the study environments for the students. The Building of Electro-technology (E-huset) is functioning as a pilot project. Our students have really taken an active part in the project. The renovation of the Building of Architecture (Arkitekthuset) has also begun. The idea is that it should feel exciting and inspiring to enter a building at LTH. It is here the future is to be created!
When we look to the future, we see a sharp demographic decline in student numbers in five or six years’ time, when we instead will hit an all-time low. We expect a large number of retirements at the same time as major research ventures such as ESS and MAX IV are established in Lund. In the light of this, we are investing in the future. If we want to see a change in the situation in five years, the investments must be made now!
During the past year, Vattenhallen Science Centre has been firmly established as a magnet for the public, with approximately 25 000 visitors over the course of the year. The Department of Astronomy at the Faculty of Science has been able to set up its planetarium in Vattenhallen. A spectacular waterfall and a digital climbing wall have been built with sponsorship from companies and banks. The entire project is an investment in the future. We believe that primary and At the moment we are working more for our secondary schools need support to raise interest successors than for ourselves. Our good financ- in science and technology.

It builds on the strong research that has been developed on the interface between LTH and the Faculty of Medicine. The programme is closely linked to electrical engineering with a solid foundation in mathematics, which means that students will not only be able to solve biomedical problems; they will also be able to link these to advanced engineering solutions. We hope in this way to maintain the high interest for studies at LTH,

In 2010 we have put a lot of time into preparing for our jubilee year and we hope it will be a year to remember. We hope that many of our alumni will also come to LTH to celebrate with us.

First- and second-cycle education THE NUMBER OF FIRST-CHOICE applicants to LTH
continues to increase! Competition for places has increased for almost all programmes. This competition has been created by a combination of demographics with large cohorts, the recession, an ongoing increase in interest in science and engineering and LTH and Lund University’s good reputation. LTH is popular! The artistic programmes – Architecture and Industrial Design – have grown over the year in their new form as ‘schools’. The Industrial Design programme is now completely divided into two parts – a three-year Bachelor’s degree and a new two-year Master’s programme that started in autumn 2010. The new Master’s programme was popular, with a total of 77 applicants, both national and international, for the 30 places. In response to the demands of industry for students skilled in automation engineering, LTH has started a new Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with automation at Campus Helsingborg. The first students were enrolled in autumn 2010 and there were a good number of applicants for the new programme. During 2010, validation work has led to a decision to offer an MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering. The programme will be offered in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and traditional engineering subjects will be interwoven with Medicine from day one. There is major interest in the programme, both from the strong medical engineering research at LTH, from the industry and among the local upper secondary school pupils who have been asked. In the work to ensure high quality in education, focus this year has been on degree projects. The quality of the degree project will be emphasised as a heavily weighted indicator of quality for programmes in the Swedish National Agency for Higher Education’s upcoming evaluation system. We have therefore introduced the possibility for students to evaluate their experiences of their degree project in the faculty-wide evaluation system. The first data (for academic

2010 • ANNUAL REPORT
year 2009/10) shows that the vast majority of students are satisfied with their degree projects, with 76% stating that they would recommend the place where they did their degree project to a friend. We have also started a project to develop criteria for what we consider characterises a good degree project. The work on the Bologna Process has now been rolled out throughout the education system at LTH; the planning is also complete for the final two years (the specialisation) on the engineering programmes. The benefits of coordination between the programmes is fully utilised and the aim is that the selection of courses on offer should be broad enough to cover all the specialisations, while the number of students per course must be high enough to cover the costs entailed in providing it. Through cooperation between education boards and research boards, a project has started during the year to map research groups and their links to second-cycle courses within the specialisations. The goal is to identify groups where access to skilled researchers/lecturers could become problematic within a few years, often because of upcoming retirements, and where strategic investments could therefore be required to cover the needs of the programmes. In conclusion, we have many students with high expectations of LTH, and all staff have a major responsibility to create good conditions for these students so that they can leave LTH with many happy memories and a good education, and get a good start to their careers.

2010 • ANNUAL REPORT
International cooperation an international education and research environment. While high-class research naturally takes place in international networks and is measured with an international yardstick, education must be internationalised through deliberate measures. LTH’s strong internationalisation gives us a competitive advantage. In the 2010 survey of all new students, 27 % said that the good opportunities for study abroad contributed to their decision to apply to LTH. However, there are large disparities between the programmes and these are in line with the interest shown by students later on in their studies. LTH IS, AND SHOULD BE,
Many students decide not to go abroad on an exchange because they want to study courses within LTH’s specialisations in the second cycle. One new initiative is therefore to offer students on some programmes the opportunity to study one semester within their compulsory undergraduate block abroad, in a form of structured exchange. In 2010, such an agreement was signed with the University of Connecticut and in autumn 2010 a total of eight students from the programmes in Civil Engineering, Industrial Economics and Biotechnology were nominated for the spring semester 2011.
The dominant issue in 2010 was, however, the introduction of tuition fees for students from outside the EU/EEA. During the past year, Lund University has invested heavily in becoming Sweden’s most attractive study destination. The preparatory work has been very complex, but has worked very well on the whole within the University. Despite this, LTH expects a fall in student numbers of at least 50% in 2011 compared with 2010, when we received 160 new Master’s students. Interest in exchanges is increasing strongly after falling off around 2008 and the number of nominations increased this year for all our exchanges. The total number of outgoing exchange students increased by 12% compared with 2009. The number of incoming students has fallen by 10% because LTH has been restrictive in receiving students above its agreed level in the light of the overproduction and the housing shortage. The restraint in allowing exchanges has not, however, been allowed to impact negatively on LTH’s students.
LTH has a goal that 25% of students who graduate from one of the long programmes are to have studied abroad. In 2010 the figure reached was 19.9%, compared with 24.4% in 2008. The LTH offers opportunities to take double degrees reasons are partly a fall in the number of degree through cooperation with a large number of projects carried out abroad and partly the declileading universities. This year the first students ne in the number of outgoing students in 2008. from Keio University and Kyushu University in Japan have come to Lund to take a double degree and three students from LTH have been nominated to study at our Japanese partners. LTH offers many attractive exchanges that attract more applicants than there are places. This places high demands for a fair and transparent selection and nomination process. In May 2010 the Dean Anders Axelsson decided new rules that came into force in autumn 2010. The rules are to be evaluated in 2011, but the experiences from 2010 are very good.

Third-cycle education Lund University has worked to draw up an action plan for quality assurance and quality enhancement in thirdcycle education 2011–2012. In addition, a lot of energy has gone into preparations for Education Quality 2011 (EQ11), which has the aim of raising the quality of all education at Lund University. Third-cycle education is included in the self-evaluation questionnaire, where the questions concern all three cycles. Apart from this, third-cycle education will be addressed in a special questionnaire on the fulfilment of the targets in the Qualifications Ordinance. OVER THE PAST YEAR,
During the year, the number of research degrees awarded at LTH has been at a relatively low level. This is an effect of the sharp decline in the number of students admitted to research studies in 2004 and 2005. The good news is that the number of doctoral students being admitted has risen, which is partly due to the fact that LTH has been successful in attracting external research funding. The proportion of women is just over 30%, which roughly corresponds to the proportion of female students at LTH.
The doctoral student section of TLTH has provided active and committed members to A new, expanded credit-bearing introduction the research boards and research committees, course for doctoral students at LTH has been with a strong focus on improving education.

Here he will make sure that Sweden’s – and primarily LTH’s – researchers take advantage of the opportunities already brewing with the construction of ESS and MAX IV.
So it is excellent, to take one example, that there are people at LTH who know most of what there is to know about public procurement of software – something which ESS is likely to need in large quantities. Or that there are others who can assist visiting researchers by producing a certain type of protein, or other sensitive “Swedish researchers will not have priority to material, that does not survive transport by post. experiment at ESS.

The number of senior lecturers has fallen over the past two years, from 180 to 170, while the number of professors has increased from 154 to 158. This change is due to the promotions from senior lecturer to professor that took place during 2010. Over the same two-year period the number of postdoctoral fellows has risen steadily from 115 to 154 full-time equivalents. Newly appointed professors
Three externally recruited professors took up posts at LTH this year, JASJIT SINGH (Industrial Design), SVEN LIDIN (Inorganic Chemistry, specialising in solid materials) and ROBERTO CROCETTI (Construction Engineering). Former adjunct professor KENNETH M. PERSSON was given a permanent post (Water Resources Engineering). Seven senior lecturers were promoted to professor during the year; LARS WADSÖ (Building Materials), PATRICK JANNASCH (Polymer Technology), MAGNUS PERSSON (Water Resources Engineering), VIKTOR ÖWALL (Electrical Construction), MARIA SANDSTEN (Mathematical Statistics specialising in statistical signal processing) and OKSANA MONT (Sustainable Consumption and Production at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics).

As can be seen from the diagram, LTH still has faces a major challenge to achieve gender equality, with a 40%–60% ratio of women to men in some categories of staff. This applies in particular to teaching positions, where the proportion of men is higher the higher the position. The proportion of female professors is only 15% and the equivalent figure for senior lecturers is 24%. However, 33% of doctoral students are female, which indicates a possible recruitment base for continued teaching careers. However, even among the postdoctoral fellows, the proportion of women has fallen to 28%. Within administration, 80% of the staff are female and we would also like to see a change here.

2010 • ANNUAL REPORT
Gender equality and equal opportunities Resources have been made available for the underrepresented gender in the form of financial support, which has resulted in four women having the opportunity to spend part of their time during 2011 on other duties that promote their careers. The holder of the Lise Meitner* Visiting Chair in 2010 has been Professor Valerie Daggert from the USA. The working group has continued its work on the recruitment project Flickor på Teknis, which is a collaboration with a large number of upper secondary schools in southern Sweden. Several departments at LTH are involved. During 2010 LTH has arranged the Future Female Leader Award in collaboration with our partner companies, in which a female engineer, architect or industrial designer wins an 18-month traineeship programme at three of the four partner companies. Most departments work actively on their choice of course literature and pictures to illustrate course catalogues and other presentation material, arrange lunch meetings for students with children, ensure that the induction programme includes something that enables all minority groups to relate/feel welcome, and take care to make everyone feel that they are seen and acknowledged in teaching situations. Every year LTH’s study guidance service delivers mentorship training together with TLTH, where information is provided on the various forms of discrimination, attitudes, etc.
Genombrottet The professional development course for lecturers in higher education teaching and learning forms the core of the academic development unit Genombrottet’s activities. In 2010, 250 LTH staff (150 lecturers and 100 doctoral students) undertook a total of 510 weeks of qualifying training. In addition, Genombrottet has given 70 weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning for participants from other parts of Lund University. Within the framework 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. Over the past year, Genombrottet’s educational development activities – training in higher education teaching and learning, educational consultancy, evaluations, research on higher education teaching and learning, knowledge dissemination, meeting places and assessment of teaching qualifications – have attracted a lot of attention both nationally and internationally through a number of invitations and visits to LTH.
* Lise Meitner (1878-1968) was an Austrian-Swedish physicist who was the first to identify fission. She was born in Vienna and studied at the universities of Vienna and Berlin. Together with the German physical chemist, Otto Hahn, she was involved in the discovery of the element protactinium in 1918.

And surprising findings on how good normal food can be at reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These are three examples of news items from LTH that have been in the media during 2010. A NEW EVALUATION
A large number of LTH representatives are seen in the press and responsibility for LTH’s media image is thus shared between many parties. When LTH figures in the media, the mention is usually news about research or researchers giving an expert opinion – it is less commonly news about students and education.

With great sensitivity and creativity, Dr Almeida has ensured that their research results and choices of problems have been of both high academic quality and high technical relevance. Henrik Almeida is a pioneer in the development of cooperation between academia and industry. Through a good understanding of the similarities and differences between research carried out at universities and in industry, he has been able to make these boost one another. His support has significantly strengthened LTH’s research both in terms of content and finances. He also plays an important part in the continued development of research at LTH as the creator of forms of cooperation, developer of new projects, and influential anchor for research financing and technical relevance. His wide international network of contacts is important in the formation of projects and research goals.
Professor and architect SIR PETER COOK is the founder of the epoch-making and radical group Archigram. He has worked at some 20 schools and has lectured at between 250 and 300. He has taught several of the world’s most renowned architects (at AA/London) and has since then educated a new generation as director and professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, London. His worldwide renown also stems from his books, and from his writing in the leading journal Architectural Review. Just over five years ago, he surprised the world once again with one of the most radical and exciting buildings of our time (Graz, 2003). Since 2005 Professor Cook has been a visiting professor at the School of Architecture in Lund. During this time he has provided invaluable contributions to the school in the form of direct teaching work and generous access to his outstanding personal network within the field of architecture. The School of Architecture has seen a noticeable improvement in the quality of students’ performance as a result of this and today there are a large number of young architecture lecturers from different parts of the world at the school. Sir Peter Cook has also served as a generous mentor to the school’s management through his long experience of leadership from some of the world’s most highly renowned schools of architecture.

Amanda Haux – education coordinator at Vattenhallen Science Centre LTH This year was a record year for Vattenhallen Science Centre at LTH. In total, Vattenhallen has now received over 23 000 visitors, of whom 8 100 were schoolchildren, since it opened in 2009. Education coordinator Amanda Haux is pleased with the figures and the many activities that Vattenhallen has put on during the year. Among her personal favourites are Kulturnatten (Culture Night), the inauguration of the planetarium and water power exhibition, and the engineering fairs with secondary school pupils. Vattenhallen particularly attracts younger visitors on school trips. Half of all pupils who visit are aged 4–12 and the other half are 13–17. The visits, which last approximately two hours, open with a talk where the children are given a short presentation of LTH. Those over the age of 12 receive a presentation entitled “What does an engineer do?” “One of this year’s new attractions is an electronic climbing wall, the DigiWall, which was installed in the autumn. It is a hybrid of a climbing wall, a computer game and a musical instrument and is very popular!” says Amanda Haux. The DigiWall will also be used as a programming exercise for older pupils.

Finances “LUND UNIVERSITY IS ROLLING IN MONEY”,
The requirements for co-financing also mean that strong environments that receive large grants receive additional direct funding that is often not needed in the development phase, but which could rather have been provided at a later stage of the project. Increased use of grant funding will mean a reduction in deferred funding, while use of direct funding decreases, with an increase in public agency capital as a result. Over the next few years, LTH will invest large sums in renovation, redecoration and equipment within projects such as the renovation of A-huset and the renovation of E-huset to create attractive study environments. This will entail use of LTH’s central public As a result of the Government’s increase in the agency capital. size of research grants, with very large sums of Within a few years, LTH’s research operations money being given to the funding bodies to al- will have increased and the research will use locate to universities and university colleges, the reserves that have been created in previous the system has received funding on a scale that years. The major challenge is to adapt the has never been seen before. The University has increased costs so that the activities correspond not been able to expand its operations quickly to the funding allocated. enough. Because the research grants are timelimited and must be paid back if not used, the research groups choose to use this funding before the direct government funding. The result is that the public agency capital increases at the same time as the unused grant funding is deferred to a later period. we read in the press. LTH is responsible for a large part of the University’s surplus. LTH’s accounts for 2010 show a surplus of SEK 78.5 million, of which SEK 4.8 million is for education. The accumulated result – the public agency capital – amounts to SEK 267.4 million, of which approximately SEK 80.5 million is for education. The majority of the public agency capital within research is at departmental level, while the majority of the capital for first- and second-cycle education is at central level within LTH. In addition, LTH has allocated grant funding of SEK 615 million for budget year 2011!
