Meet the ABE school’s new Heads of department

Five new heads of department will take up their posts at the turn of the year. They bring with them a variety of experiences, motivations and ideas for the future. How does it feel to take on the role of head of department? What are they looking forward to, and who are the people behind these appointments? We asked them a few short questions to get to know them a little better.

The Faculty Board

Focus on impact and the upcoming review of the school’s programmes

The impact of research was high on the agenda when the Faculty Board met last week. The Board was presented with a draft of the school’s new impact strategy and discussed, amongst other things, how the impact of research can be better highlighted. The upcoming external peer review of the school’s degree programmes was also a key item on the agenda.

Infrastructure

Review and analysis of ABE’s research infrastructures initiated

Head of the School has decided to commission Magnus Wålinder, the School’s Responsible for research infrastructure, to carry out a review and analysis of the School’s research infrastructures.

The assignment aims to provide a strategic basis for decision-making regarding the long-term planning, prioritisation and development of the School’s research infrastructure.
