Wilhelm von Humboldt and Education
You might not have heard of Wilhelm von Humboldt, and you might not care. But his ideas about the governance of higher education have been on the topical agenda on and off for more than 200 years. von Humboldt was something of a renaissance man. A linguist by trade, but otherwise a ubiquitous figure in…
Editorial #132
It’s been ten months since I was in the General Council of Lun- daEkonomerna, trying to explain why I would suit as editor-in- chief of Nådiga Lundtan. My strongest argument was change. Lundtan was a great magazine but I saw huge potential for improvement. The General Council bought by arguments and here I am. But…
Vice President’s Column #131
It is truly amazing how time flies. The other day I realised that it has been six months since I, and the other members of the board got our keys to Skånis and started working for LundaEkonomerna. It feels like yesterday, but when I think of everything that has happened it feels like ages ago. We…
President’s Column #131
The year of 2016 has come to an end, which means that half of my time as a board member of LundaEkonomerna has passed. So far, I have spent a fortune at ICA Malmborgs, drunk about 850 cups of coffee and had countless of power naps at my desk. Furthermore, I have moved two times,…
The Future of Driving (or not Driving)
Now it’s just a matter of time until we’ll be travelling around in true auto-mobiles, cars that are capable of moving around themselves – not only without horses but also without the active driver. Autonomous driving is here to stay. Many cities and countries around the world are experimenting with new systems, there are test…

The last few months have been some of the best of my life. The board has become like a new family to me. I feel support in everything I do and we are constantly learning something new about each other. We are an organization built on collaboration with the will to help each other. It’s…
President’s Column #130
November is here and the darkness is devouring us but today I wish to direct some light on the internationalization of LundaEkonomerna and LUSEM. LundaEkonomerna is currently in an interesting, and developing phase. We can see that the end of Civilekonomprogrammet has lead to more international students coming to LUSEM. I believe that LUSEM attracts…
The Achievements of Jan Wallander
To be honest, the achievements of organisations are often down to quite basic stuff: a good idea, hard work and a lot of luck. We may suggest analytical tools all we want but often the list of factors explaining real empirical success will include rather basic stuff. It is therefore we get so delighted whenever…
Vice President’s Column #129
I’m writing this text last minute during a (very loud) preparty at my house the day before the deadline. I’m not usually a person that puts things off to the last second but here I am trying to write something while Party train is played in the background. The plan was to have the text…
President’s Column #129
New semester filled with new opportunities, and new students being introduced to the student life of Lund. There is something special about this time of the year, when the new students arrive, it’s almost like the student life of Lund is reborn. All the novice periods at the different student unions and nations brings out…
