It’s time for a cosy celebration at the Ecology Centre! There will be food, fun activities and, not least, an opportunity to bid farewell to three professors.
Welcome to an evening with a festive Christmas theme! It will also be an opportunity to recognise three people who have worked here for many years and are now retiring: Tomas Pärt, Christer Björkman and Thomas Kätterer.
There will be food, including some traditional Swedish Christmas dishes as well as other options. We are also planning some fun – and perhaps slightly unexpected – activities.
Dessert will be a potluck. Please bring something tasty to share, perhaps something from your home country.
As everyone has been good this year, everyone should receive a present. Bring something from home that you no longer use, wrap it and place it in a box by the facilities management office. You could also bring something you have baked or made yourself.

If you have a Christmas jumper hiding in your wardrobe, now is the time to bring it out! But there's no need for red or glitter – just come as you are!
