Yesterday, May 21, Crown Princess Victoria visited the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory at the University of Gothenburg. 🌊

The visit took place in connection with a new professorship in biodiversity established by the university as a gift ahead of the Crown Princess’s 50th birthday celebration next year.

“As a child, I was fascinated by how different species are connected to their surrounding environment. As I grew older, I also came to understand the vulnerability of nature and the severe consequences that can result if we reach a tipping point, beyond which negative developments can no longer be halted. The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity emphasises the interconnectedness of different species and the shared responsibility we have for nature. I therefore hope that this, along with future roundtable discussions, will lead to an exchange of ideas and help set a direction for continued work.” 🦀

📣 SEK 155 million investment in the Wallenberg Centre for Translational and Molecular Medicine (WCMTM) to advance clinical research 🔬

The University of Gothenburg has now been awarded an additional SEK 155 million to strengthen clinical research. This is part of a national strategic initiative by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, which will, among other things, enable the recruitment of new clinical research leaders within WCMTM, in collaboration with the Västra Götaland Region. 🤝

“We welcome this long-term investment, which creates excellent opportunities to strengthen clinical and translational research at the University of Gothenburg. Our close collaboration with healthcare providers, built up over many years, is an important reason why this initiative is being made here. Our tradition of excellence and innovation in life sciences strengthens not only western Sweden but also Sweden as a leading international player,” says Vice-Chancellor Malin Broberg.

🌟 The University of Gothenburg, in collaboration with Chalmers, proudly welcomed five of this year’s Nobel laureates, who delivered lectures over the course of three days to students, researchers, and the general public. 🌟

🎤 During three intensive days, the three Nobel Prize laureates in Physics John M. Martinis, Michel H. Devoret, and John Clarke as well as the Nobel laureate in Chemistry, Omar M. Yaghi, and the Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, Shimon Sakaguchi, lectured on their respective fields of research, ranging from the mysteries of quantum mechanics to new molecular architectures and the finely tuned balance of the immune system.

We are immensely proud that the Nobel laureates chose to visit the University of Gothenburg during their stay in Sweden in connection with the Nobel Day. Lectures such as these help to strengthen our academic environment and provide insight into current research of the highest international standard. ✨
