The complex challenges in our society require new solutions. We need high-quality, challenge-relevant research brought together in collective efforts over subject and sector boundaries, combined with strong curiosity-driven research. With this need in mind, the Strategic Research Areas (SRAs) were initiated about ten years ago. Lund University has now launched a new strategy for its SRAs. NanoLund
