Welcome to attend the seminar!

Welcome to the JMW salen at the University library and attend lectures by JU's honorary doctors. 

Peter Björkman is Light Planning Manager at Fagerhult Lighting and has been a driving force in product and application development for almost two decades. He has had a close and long-standing collaboration with Jönköping University, where he has been a key figure in the development of the bachelor's programme in lighting design and lighting technology – a programme that is unique in its kind both nationally and internationally.

As a former student and member of the programme's industry council, Björkman has contributed both practical expertise and strategic development. Through lectures, research collaborations and an active partnership between Fagerhult and JU, he has promoted knowledge exchange and inspired the lighting designers of the future. His passion for the role of light in community building makes him an obvious choice for an honorary doctorate.

The lectures are held at Jönköping University and are open to everyone – a unique opportunity to learn about current research, socially relevant perspectives and visions for the future. Read more about the programme and the honorary doctors. This lecture is held in Swedish.

Welcome to the JMW salen at the University library and attend lectures by JU's honorary doctors. 

Joakim Paasikivi is a retired lieutenant colonel with a long career in the Swedish Armed Forces, where he has served as a lecturer in military strategy at the Swedish National Defence College in Stockholm and the Baltic Defence College in Estonia. He has held leading roles in intelligence and security services in both Sweden and Finland. Since retiring in 2024, he has been working as a geopolitical advisor at Mannheimer Swartling.

Paasikivi became a familiar face in the Swedish media during Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, where he explained complex security policy issues to the public with pedagogical clarity. His efforts as an educator and analyst in geopolitics, international relations and civil preparedness have made him a trusted voice in public discourse – and an invaluable contributor to an informed and resilient civil society.

The lectures are held at Jönköping University and are open to everyone – a unique opportunity to learn about current research, socially relevant perspectives and visions for the future. Read more about the programme and the honorary doctors.
