News from Head of Department, week 25

I knew about what it meant to be a prefect a year ago, but still not quite. Everyday I am proud to represent KV and you all are the main reason! The fascination is to meet and make the best of the situation, together.

On Monday, the prefect council was where Kerstin participated and discussed "SLU's employer brand", the faculty proposal, quality work for postgraduate education and more. Last Wednesday, KV's management team met first and then KV's strategic council (subject managers and collaborators) met and talked about the strategy work that will be done at KV this fall. We also talked about the two hot topics: research funding and the supply of competence, where we decided to focus on these during our meetings this fall. Good and committed meeting! The new journal system was discussed at a meeting on Thursday. Procurement is now complete and implementation will begin this fall. It will certainly be hard work, but there is no alternative to introducing the new system.
