Strategic plan 2018-2023

Our strategic plan is common to all three institutions and the Inter Arts Center. It explains our aim and connects to Lund University Strategic Plan 2017-2026. However, the institutions each have their own action plans that focus on specific development needs.

The faculty has chosen to focus on five of the six priority areas in the university's strategic plan:

1. Education and research must be intertwined
2. Active collaborations are stimulated to solve societal challenges
3. The development as an international university continues
4. Well-developed leadership and employeeship are success factors
5. Students, staff and visitors are offered attractive environments
