INTERNATIONALIZATION. Sahlgrenska Academy invites you to a festive afternoon where four of our new international Visiting Professors give a more detailed presentation of the research collaboration they want to develop at Sahlgrenska Academy. They will also be formally welcomed to Sahlgrenska Academy by Dean Agneta Holmäng.
The Visiting Professorship program is a new initiative of Sahlgrenska Academy to strengthen and develop internationalization at the Academy’s research environments. It will also stimulate the exchange of knowledge and experience between research groups, as well as inspire further exchanges between research groups with a high international reputation. The program also aims to stimulate high quality of research and contribute to increasing the number of publications in internationally highly rated journals and stimulating research collaboration that can generate large grants.
At the time of installation, four of the five guest professors will attend a short research lecture.
The Visiting Professors are Roger Adan from UMC (University Medical Center) Utrecht, Netherlands, Dame Frances M Ashcroft at University of Oxford, Great Britain, William Jagust at School of Public Health, University of California in Berkeley, USA and Sören Riis Paludan at Århus University in Denmark. The fifth Visiting Professor Tudor Oprea at University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, is unfortunately indisposed and will be installed at a later date.
