Emil Elgebrant is a Lecturer at the Department of Law, Stockholm University, with his workplace located at Juridicum (Universitetsvägen 14, library building, room SCCL 634). He is an active member of both the research department for general property law and the research department for insolvency law with property law at SCCL (Stockholm Center for Commercial Law), demonstrating his dual expertise in these interconnected fields. Associate Professor qualification in Civil Law, Stockholm University (2017) Assistant Professor position, Linköping University (2018) Juris Doctorate in Civil Law, Stockholm University (2012) Bachelor of Laws, Stockholm University (2005) Dr. Elgebrant's research centers on property law with particular focus on non-physical assets, examining how legal systems address property identity and exclusivity for objects without physical representation. His groundbreaking dissertation, 'Ownership & Value of Emissions Rights and Other Similar Traded Objects,' established his expertise at the intersection of property law, accounting law, and tax law. His work consistently addresses the fundamental question: 'what has the legislator created?' when examining new legal figures within established frameworks. His publication history reveals a clear trajectory from traditional property law concepts toward contemporary challenges in digital and environmental markets. Recent works (2019-2021) focus on technology neutrality, disposal restrictions in jointly owned property, and comprehensive legal analyses of digital currencies. Earlier publications (2006-2016) established his expertise in emission rights trading, showing how legal classification of these assets affects accounting treatment, income tax, and VAT implications. His interdisciplinary approach connects seemingly disparate legal fields to address complex issues arising from new economic systems. Dr. Elgebrant serves as course director and teacher for specialized courses including Insolvency Law with Property Law, as well as promissory note law and property law within the Civil Law A course. His teaching directly reflects his research expertise, emphasizing practical application of property law concepts to modern economic challenges involving digital currencies and environmental markets. As a researcher at SCCL, Dr. Elgebrant contributes to both the general property law and insolvency law research departments. His work on emission rights and digital currencies demonstrates how traditional property law concepts must evolve to address non-physical assets in contemporary economic systems, particularly examining how the private law character of trading objects influences their treatment across accounting and tax law frameworks.

Glenn Berggård serves as a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department at Luleå University of Technology, working within the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering in the Architecture and Water division. His research focuses on sustainable transportation solutions, particularly in rural and sub-Arctic contexts. Dr. Berggård's research interests center on the transition to fossil-free transportation in rural areas, with particular emphasis on accessibility challenges, behavioral change, and social innovation approaches. His work addresses the unique transportation difficulties faced in sparsely populated regions of northern Sweden, where long distances, inadequate public transport, and car dependency create significant barriers to sustainable mobility. His recent publications reveal a strong focus on understanding the constraints and enablers for transitioning away from fossil fuel-based transportation in rural communities. This research examines safety perceptions, community engagement, and the social dimensions of mobility change, moving beyond purely technical solutions to consider the complex behavioral and social aspects of transportation transitions. As a supervisor, Dr. Berggård has guided doctoral research on the transition to fossil-free passenger transport in northern Sweden, working with students like Margareta Westin whose thesis explored rural inhabitants' perspectives on this critical transition. In his role as Head of Department for Architecture and Water, he oversees academic programs and research initiatives that bridge architectural design with water resource management and sustainable transportation planning, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary environmental challenges.
