The Swedish research council has approved our network grant for planning future excellent clusters for groundbreaking technologies; the title is ``Wireless beyond standardization’’. The principal investigator is James Gross from KTH and I will act as one of the co-investigators.

Other updates

I tried for the first time the very Swedish sport of swimrun. It combines trail running and swimming: what an interesting way to explore the Swedish nature! I went for a small race for beginners; it was a lot of fun!
