Starting last Monday (June 25) I work at the Traffic and Environment Unit of the Roads and Traffic Office of the Technical Services Administration of the City of Lund (uff, what a vertical structure, haha!).

Me and my friend, classmate, flatmate and a fellow esperantist Camille are planning the first pilot university course on Mobility Management. Swedish government financed this project through its climate investment programme (KLIMP). The course is directed to our fellow classmates at LUMES and so me and Camille will directly experience consequences of our work ourselves, in the autumn semester. So we better make it right, otherwise everybody will hate us!

Having said this about enormous responsibility that I feel, I just love this job! Modern office in the city center (50 meters from the railway station), extremely nice and friendly colleagues, sincerely devoted to the issue of urban transport sustainability, some of our friends also working in the same unit part-time (counting vehicles on the roads, making calls to new residents of Lund, doing their internships, etc), and – of course! – my boss, Anders Söderberg, who is the nicest!! He really puts a lot of efforts to make sure that me and Camille feel welcome and comfortable here, and that all conditions are provided for our productive work. He's extremely friendly and supportive, it's a great pleasure to work with him. We also have the most interesting conversations with him about Swedish culture and politics during breakfast or lunch time. I had a chance to work with him before, at the ECOMM 2007 conference this spring, so I knew it was going to be nice. Besides, he was a chairman of Hållbart universitet, a student environment organisation at the Lund University, that I'm a board member of now… It's nice to feel such inter-generational continuity! ;-) Oh, and because it's a small world, some years ago he was applying for a job at Greenpeace Nordic and having an interview with Martina Krüger, who was my supervisor for an internship project I was doing at Greenpeace the past two weeks (a study on electricity producers in Sweden).

Well, now I better get back to my interesting project! I'll keep you updated, if you keep reading my notes on Facebook! ;-)
