Rising prices on food, inflation and Trump's tariffs, it's what we live and what we see in the news. And it is also something several of our researchers can give their expert insights on.
LUSEM's researchers continue to be very visible in the media with Johan Anselmsson, Maria Persson and Andreas Bergh featuring prominently. Check out LUSEM in the news for the latest media highlights.
Also, congratulations to Johan Larsson from statistics who won LUSEM's best thesis award 2024!
Wishing you an insightful and engaging read!
Who made it to the podium in this year's FEK Table Tennis Tournament?
On 2 April, it was time for the the annual FEK Table Tennis Tournament again, and this year also marked its 10th anniversary! The competition first started in 2013 but has had three breaks over the years.
A total of 22 players battled fiercely until the very end, and this year's final surpassed even last year's in terms of excitement and impressive serves—and last year's final was already in a class of its own!
