President’s Column #127
Is it not amazing how innovative students can be? Every day I meet engaged members of LundaEkonomerna that have found a new way to do something and by that solve a problem. It does not matter how complex the problem is, they will always solve it by bringing up a new idea or affect the…
Inspector’s Page: Sweden’s accomodation problem
All estimations indicate that Sweden is about to embark on a journey of sustained periods of investments in residential housing. Sweden is about to become a state of 10 million inhabitants by 2017, and continues to grow; the number of 20-24 year olds is increasing.

Alumni: Max Nilsson
In June this year, three years has passed since I stepped out from the beautiful building Universitetshuset with the sun streaming down my face as a freshly graduated Civilekonom. It is hard not to feel nostalgic when I think back on my four great years in Lund and at LUSEM, a great place to live,…
Medical 3D printing the next step
Humans are invincible, or so we would prefer to believe. Few of us entertain the idea that at some point we will age, develop a malignant tumour, or suffer lifechanging injuries.

The Innovation Powerhouse
Sweden is widely regarded as an innovations powerhouse. Even though Sweden is a small country, we have one of the world’s highest patent growth rates, some of the highest spending on research and development in Europe, and one of the world’s highest rates of trained engineers per capita.

The modern way to read newspapers

It has been our go-to source of information since the Renaissance Europe (there is a slightly global disagreement on how old the art of printed paper really is, but I choose to go with this era), where handwritten newsletters were passed on between…
Editorial #127
Growing up in a family where customer value has been of great importance, since both my parents have been running their own businesses for as long as I can remember, and my older brother being an entreprenurial brainiac who studied at the Chalmers school of Entrepreneurship. Whenever our family is gathered, the main discussions around…
Vice President’s Column #126
As I am writing this piece, I am onboard the train from Linköping back to Lund, after a weekend together with the other fellow U9 members. In Felicia’s chronicle, she talks about her list of pros and cons to apply for a position within the board of LundaEkonomerna. It reminds me of the time when…
