On April 19, eleven new professors were inaugurated in a ceremony that took place at SLU’s Uppsala Campus. The ceremony was followed by a banquet and dancing.
The professors, who represent all SLU´s four faculties, gave their inauguration lectures on April 18-19. All these lectures were webcast and recordings are available at www.slu.se/professorer. Seven of the lectures were given in English.
