The EU Office opened on August 18 but will have a more official inauguration in mid-October. LiU's reinforcement of its presence in Brussels aligns with the declared ambition to become a stronger academic player in Europe, for example by being designated as one of the AI factories in Europe and actively participating in the ECIU network.

“We have an important role as a driving force for innovation and sustainable development in Europe. At a time of increasing geopolitical tensions, we also want to take a more active part in European cooperation. That is why we are opening an office in Brussels,” says Vice-Chancellor Jan-Ingvar Jönsson.

Lisa Pohl has been appointed as the head of the EU Office. She has worked at the European Commission as a communications officer for Horizon Europe at the Research Executive Agency (REA), focusing on areas such as culture, security, environment, and research infrastructure.

LiU's EU office is located in Nordic House in Brussels.
