Mikael on CBH's Strategic Council

I would like to begin by thanking our teacher representatives: My Hedhammar, Linda Fogelström, Andrea Eriksson, Francisco Vilaplana, and our T&A representative Maria Orgmetz, for your efforts in CBH's Strategic Council. Your participation in the discussions about the CBH School's development has been very valuable. Now is the time to choose a new Strategic Council for 2022-2025. Those of you who have participated are welcome to stand for re-election if you wish. The council consists of the Head of School (chairman), five members who represent teachers and researchers, one member who represents technical and administrative staff and three members who have their main activities outside the school.

The council is an advisory body to the Head of School on important matters concerning the school's organization, development plan, activity plan, annual report, overall issues concerning education and other matters of great importance to that the Head of School deems the Strategic Council should be consulted on. We will return with information about how you run and the election process at the CBH School.

On Wednesday, information came that the government is extending the stricter Covid-19 restrictions for another two weeks from 26 January 2022. The background is that there is currently an extremely high spread of infection in society, according to our Minister of Social Affairs Lena Hallengren. KTH also extends its recommendations regarding telework by two weeks. Feel free to follow .

In conclusion, I would like to congratulate Professor Monica Ek who yesterday received the Ekman Medal for her great contributions in forest industry-related research, education and collaboration. The Ekman Medal is an award that has been awarded by the Swedish Paper and Cellulose Engineering Association since 1929 and is one of the finest awards in the Swedish forest industry.
