The Boards of the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and the Faculty of Science have decided to aim for a more modest establishment in Science Village, i.e. the area between Max IV and ESS. The decision is justified, among other things, by the fact that the Departments of Physics and Chemistry would incur high rental costs if both research and education were to move. So says Annika Mårtensson, assistant
