All the practicalities

🎓 PhD Defense

Welcome to my PhD defense. The defense is public — no sign-up needed, just show up.

29 April, 13:00

📍 Granitsalen, Floor 9, North Entrance, University Hospital

🏐

The Beach Party

After the defense, we're swapping the lecture hall for sand. Beach volleyball with Karin Lundqvist (5-time Swedish champion) and Elin Nyman (LiU Prefect), then dinner and dancing — all indoors, weather-proof.

Location

Linköping Beach Arena

How to get there

Three ways to reach Linköping Beach Arena.

Gustav's pick

🚲 Bike or scooter

Follow Gustav on a ride from the University Hospital through Linköping's scenery. Leaves from the bike parking outside the north entrance around 17:00 (unless delayed by interesting scientific discussions). Same ride home — win-win.

🚌 Bus

Östgötatrafik bus 13 from Tinneröbadet (500 m from the hospital) to Idögatan (500 m walk to the arena). Departs every ~15 min through the day. Last bus back: 23:54 from Idögatan.

Please don't take an e-scooter back — gravel ruins the machinery.

🚕 Taxi

For the financially independent.

👕 Dress code

Summer beach vibes ☀️ — light, relaxed, ready for sand. Shorts, summer dresses, linen, anything you'd wear to a beach party. No need to worry about the weather, it's all indoors.

🎁 Gifts

Your presence is the only gift I could ask for. If you still feel like contributing, a voluntary Swish is most welcome.
