When Mid Sweden University celebrates its academic ceremony on Friday, Gunnar Svedberg will receive the university's medal of merit. He was vice-chancellor of Mid Sweden University from 1999 to 2003 and led the work on the application that led to the university becoming a university in 2005.

"It feels very gratifying and, above all, unexpected. I never thought I would receive an award like this, but it's nice and nice to be recognized for something that was so long ago," says Gunnar Svedberg.

During the anniversary week, he also participates in panel discussions in the anniversary seminar The times they are a-changin' – Mid Sweden University 20 years. The seminar, which will take place on Thursday, is about the process behind Mid Sweden University becoming a university – a journey to which Gunnar Svedberg's commitment and leadership strongly contributed.
