That sport should be fun sounds obvious, but what does it really mean? Jenny Back, Lecturer at Halmstad University, has in her dissertation explored why young people quit playing football and what can make them stay. The results challenge common assumptions and provide new clues on how more children and youth can be encouraged to stay in the world of sport.

As a child, Lars Eriksson built small inventions at home with his father. Today, he is Professor of Industrial Design at Halmstad University, researching how we experience surfaces and materials, and how design can contribute to both wellbeing and sustainable development.

Following a mutual agreement between Halmstad University and the professor who has been involved in a case in the University’s Staff Disciplinary Board, the parties have agreed on a plan for the continued management of the employment.

Halmstad University’s Staff Disciplinary Board will examine whether the professor who has been guilty of research misconduct in the form of plagiarism, and other forms of misconduct, should be dismissed due to personal reasons.
