Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what
