Marcus Liwicki from Germany arrived in Luleå on a summer’s day in 2017. He’d been invited to Luleå University of Technology (LTU), to be interviewed for a position as professor of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Before the airport bus had even departed, Luleå had already made a good impression on him.
–Everything was so well-organised. We disembarked, got our bags straight away, and then the bus neatly pulled up. No jostling, no stress.

Marcus works hard to inspire others and convince potential future employees to move to the region.
– Luleå and Norbotten have so much to offer in terms of quality of life and career. At LTU, you get to really develop professionally, travel and learn more. The best the academicsector has to offer! I’m hoping my journey will inspire others to make the move up here as well.

Also an exercise in teamwork: "When something seems impossible, we can, as a team, manage it together", says Marcus Liwicki about the puzzle, which has motives from the series "La Casa de Papel".
In 2009/2010, Marcus Liwicki worked as a visiting professor at Kyushu University in Japan and he has also worked at universities in Germany and Switzerland. "The culture at Luleå University of Technology is welcoming and non-prestigious, and I appreciate that the opportunities for permanent employment are greater here than in many other places, it makes people feel safer and perform better," he says.
