International Collaboration for Community Health Nursing (ICCHNR)
On Växjö, Sweden, and Linnaeus University
Växjö is located in the very heart of southern Sweden, the name Växjö derives from the two Swedish words "väg" (meaning road) and "sjö" (lake), and that's exactly what it is: "the city where the roads meet between the lakes"!
Ever since it's founding in the Middle ages, Växjö has been a place for business, administration and education, and today, among other things, it is also the "home" of one of the two campuses for the Linnaeus University.
Today the city of Växjö has grown to approximately 70000 inhabitants, it has been called "the greenest city in Europe" and the Linnaeus university counts more than 30000 students, and today there's a lot more than shopping and the medieval cathedral to experience in Växjö, in culture, local handicraft, unique shops and world-class restaurants.
A warm welcome to Växjö and Linnaeus University in June 2022!
