Jari Kinaret
Energy-efficient, high-speed electronics on a nanoscale and screens for mobile telephones and computers that are so thin they can be rolled up. Just a couple of examples of what the super-material graphene could give us. But is European industry up to making these visions a reality?

MariAnne Karlsson
Her research focuses on the relationship between people and technology, in particular the human being in the transport system. She fights the myth about human errors; in most cases the errors occur due to a poor match between human being and the design of the technical system.

Björn Sandén
It is not a matter of physical resources. Nor is it a matter of
technology. At a reasonable cost, 10 billion people could live on our
level. The problem lies in the readjustment to a new, sustainable energy
system. Can we bring this about sufficiently quickly?
