Last week, our research group left the lab for a few days to share science and network in a new environment. While most of us carpooled or took public transport to Marstrand’s Havshotell, Katharina and Gaohua cycled the 100 km round trip—a true display of dedication!

In addition to a guided tour of Carlstens Fortress, we gained valuable insights into the similarities and differences between industry and academia, thanks to our affiliated researcher Gianfrano Grompone. Upon request, our group leader Fredrik shared his perspectives and experiences on starting and sustaining a research group, and Robert inspired us with ideas for making our research data visually engaging.

During the workshop sessions, we explored ways to improve our daily work in the lab. There was plenty of time for networking, meaningful conversations, and team building. Special thanks to Thomas and Annika L for the fun and challenging team-building activities.

Great days – great people!
