Lennart Andersson seminars

Lennart Andersson was Vice-Chancellor of Karlstad University College and Professor of Human Geography. When Lennart Andersson retired in 1994, a foundation was established in his honour to fund an annual seminar. The foundation was intended to make it possible to invite prominent researchers in Lennart Andersson’s own field, Human Geography. The seminar was going to be open for everyone. After his retirement, Lennart Andersson remained very active in the subject, in third-cycle education and in seminar activities, until he passed away on 16 November 2010 (see obituary).
