“Christmas and a few days of rest are just around the corner after a semester filled with hard work. During my initial time as Vice-Chancellor, I’ve only managed to meet a fraction of you, but I want to thank you all for the incredible dedication and impressive expertise I’ve encountered. I hope that you, like me, take pride in what we have achieved this year and in how the University of Gothenburg stands strong when it comes to providing knowledge and contributing to societal development even in challenging and dark times. I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the upcoming year and hope that the holidays provide an opportunity for recuperation, offering the mix of rest and activities that suits you!”
