Ge inte upp det goda ljuset! Open lecture with Peter Björkman, JU's honorary doctor 2025

Welcome to the JMW salen at the University library and attend lectures by JU's honorary doctors. 

Peter Björkman is Light Planning Manager at Fagerhult Lighting and has been a driving force in product and application development for almost two decades. He has had a close and long-standing collaboration with Jönköping University, where he has been a key figure in the development of the bachelor's programme in lighting design and lighting technology – a programme that is unique in its kind both nationally and internationally.

As a former student and member of the programme's industry council, Björkman has contributed both practical expertise and strategic development. Through lectures, research collaborations and an active partnership between Fagerhult and JU, he has promoted knowledge exchange and inspired the lighting designers of the future. His passion for the role of light in community building makes him an obvious choice for an honorary doctorate.

The lectures are held at Jönköping University and are open to everyone – a unique opportunity to learn about current research, socially relevant perspectives and visions for the future. Read more about the programme and the honorary doctors. This lecture is held in Swedish.
