During the Blekinge Institute of Technology academic celebration ceremony for 2025 we had several reasons to be proud.

The main event was of course that new Vice Chancellor Henric Johnson was installad by previous VC Mats Viberg.

Besides that we were also happy for the insignias for Mårten Silvanius (Systems Engineering) and Johan Flyborg (Applied Health Technology) who had Professor Tobias Larsson as a supervisor also in a collaborative effort.

The ceremony was held in Fredrikskyrkan and it was a nice backdrop for the event. The evening party then moved to BTH at Campus Gräsvik.

During the dinner Alessandro held the talk from installed professors.
