Pelle Ingvarsson, deputy dean of the NJ-faculty
Impressive breadth in our research, environmental analysis, and teaching
As
relatively new in the role as deputy dean at the NJ Faculty, this spring has
been quite an intense period with a lot of new things to learn. It is both
exciting and challenging to take on a new role that offers new perspectives on
the activities at the faculty. One of
the absolute highlights of the spring has been the departmental visits that
Noél and I, together with parts of the faculty office, have carried out during
March and April.
The Faculty Board held its second meeting of the
year. The meeting was dominated by a large number of recruitment matters.
The agenda also included the appointment of a new
vice-dean and some important educational issues.
In brief:
The Board approved seven advertisements for associate
senior lecturers. These recruitments are part of the SLU-wide initiative “SLU
Futures”, launched by the Vice-Chancellor, in which nine associate senior
lecturers will be recruited to SLU.
The faculty now has a vice-dean responsible for
internationalisation: Klara Fischer from the Department of Urban and Rural
Development.
The Faculty Board endorse the curricula for three new degree programmes in the field of
economics, as well as the Master's programme in Agricultural and Forestry
Systems Engineering.
