Digital Lunch Talks

Short digital lunch talks on inspiring and not well-known topics of research, in English or Swedish, is one of the Academy’s activities to disseminate research results and knowledge, nationally and abroad. The talks are often held by the Academy’s international fellows, as a way of introducing their different fields.


Our fellows are the Academy’s most important resource, and are elected thanks to research achievements or practical experiences. As they are active in all parts of the world, some in or close to Sweden, some further away, a digital lunch talk is a way of getting us to meet them and to make them feel involved and welcome. All newly elected international fellows are also introduced in a seminar, International Outlook, in connection with the Commemorative Meeting in January every year.

Do not hesitate to contact the Academy if you have ideas to a digital lunch talk!
