Proud partner of Luleå Pride
Luleå University of Technology has been a partner of Luleå Pride for many years.
Why is it so important that we as a university get involved in Luleå Pride? This is what Vice-Chancellor Birgitta Bergvall-Kåreborn says:
– For us at Luleå University of Technology, it is of utmost importance to support Luleå Pride. It is about the equal value of all people, rights, and that all love is equally valuable. Now that we are in the middle of a social transformation in northern Sweden, we need to create attractive and inclusive communities where people want to live, which is a prerequisite for succeeding with the green transition.
