Being a Change Maker is to create the conditions for ideas to leave the drawing board. Acting instead of just reflecting. Dare to step forward, challenge the established, and pave the way for the future. We are proud to introduce some of the Change Makers leading the way.
The entire democratic chain, from opinion formation and elections, to law and the implementation of political decisions, is included in the area of welfare core. We have a wide range of professional education and strong research environments, including those focused on practical school research and social work for children and young people.

Interdisciplinary collaboration in research and education between Ikea, Södra, and Linnaeus University creates mutual benefits and international visibility.
Climate change and other societal challenges do not recognize borders. They are large and complex, national and global, and do not respect academic disciplines. That’s why we work interdisciplinarily, collaborating across various fields of research. In partnerships with other institutions, companies, and organizations, both in Sweden and internationally, we combine knowledge in new ways. This leads to new ideas that become solutions to real-world problems. Do you want to contribute to change? Your knowledge and expertise are needed to create the necessary change.
