Some tips for better technical quality in recordings (for presenters (papers/keynotes):
- Set your video resolution to 1920x1080. If you use a mobile phone to record, record in landscape (horizontal) format.
- Use a neutral background and record in good light.
- Place yourself slightly to the left or right of the centre of the frame, and make sure not to have too much air above your head.
- Place your camera at the same level as your head.
- Preferably, use a wired lavalier microphone plugged into your computer or phone. In case you do not have access to a lavalier, use a high-quality USB microphone or a high-quality phone headset. Try to avoid large headsets, as these do not look good on video.
- Avoid using a room witch echo or other disturbing sounds.
- Preferably, do not use a virtual background. In case you record in Zoom with a lit green screen behind you, it is ok to use a virtual background.
- Choose mp4 as your file format

Employees share stories of a workplace with both challenges and opportunities. Linnaeus University is a university where people can reach their full potential.

Kalmar
In Kalmar, history is always present when walking between the beautiful buildings, in the narrow alleys and town squares. Kalmar is an idyllic place right next to the sea, and the island of Öland is just a trip across the bridge away. Here you will get to enjoy city and nature in one and the same place. Kalmar Castle and the city park, the university buildings, the walking paths along the sea – distances are small and in 5–10 minutes you can reach most places. In Kalmar, which consists largely of islands, you are always near the sea. Learn more about what to see and do in Kalmar.
Students are an important part of Kalmar and in 2021 our brand new facilities at Universitetskajen were inaugurated, with a view of the sea and the island of Öland. It feels natural that much of the education and research that Linnaeus University conducts in Kalmar is linked to the city’s history and nature. And, of course, the sea.
Not far from Kalmar you will find Glasriket. Here you can take part of the history of glassworks and try out glassblowing. Learn more about Glasriket.
If you have the time, we recommend that you make the trip across the bridge to visit Öland. Learn more about the island of Öland.
Walking tips
Start from Calmar stadshotell and walk towards the beach “Kattrumpan”. Then walk through the city all the way to Kalmar Castle. On your way back, walk past Universitetskajen that was inaugurated in August 2021. The inauguration of Universitetskajen means that Linnaeus University’s facilities in Kalmar are now gathered in one location, right next to the sea, and neighbour with the city centre and Kalmar Castle. Earlier, the university’s facilities were spread out across Kalmar.
This is what makes Kalmar unique. One second, you can be at the beach and the next visit historical Kalmar or the city centre to do some shopping or have a meal. Welcome to Kalmar!
