The University decides that Lund University’s Administrative Prize for 2025 be awarded to:
Head of Finance Charlotte Solberg, Department of Physics
Excerpt from the nomination:
An excellent example of Charlotte’s driving force, curiosity and how she plays a role in developing our activities can be found in this quote from one of the heads of division: “She sees the overall picture and always what is best for the Department of Physics and our activities. This makes it much easier and more enjoyable to be a manager in this complex organisation!” We cannot imagine a better testimonial for a finance officer, support function, manager or colleague at Lund University.
How will you spend the prize money?
“It’s not really sunk in yet, but I know that I want to use the prize money for something within leadership that will benefit the whole finance team, as this would not have been possible without my colleagues.”
Curator Jenny Bergman, Historical Museum
Excerpt from the nomination:
Jenny shares her knowledge generously and communicates information about the Anatomical Collection and its history. This includes everything from lectures for the general public and interviews in the media to dialogues with expert authorities, researchers, minority groups and museum and collection networks.
Jenny’s work has enabled Lund University to administer and manage the collection in accordance with international, national and local guidelines. She has helped to highlight the collection and convey its historical and contemporary context for external stakeholders. This is and has been of great benefit for Lund University
How will you spend the prize money?
“As Scotland is involved in work on the return of human remains and issues relating to this, I would like to visit the universities in Aberdeen and Edinburgh to get an insight into how they work on return issues, communication and provenance research.”
