Greeting from the Head of Department, Sara Bergek

I am now back after a summer mostly spent in or on the water in different ways. I am looking forward to continuing my assignment as Head of Department at SLU Aqua – which also involves quite a lot of water!

In the management team, we are starting off by focusing on a few major issues: Älvkarleby, the new organization at the Institute of Marine Research, and the new travel time agreement. We are also working on many other matters, which is why I will invite you all to an information meeting on September 12 to share more details.

Since I have now taken on the role as permanent Head of Department, the division of responsibilities between me and Per-Olof Larsson has been adjusted. I now hold the full delegation as Head of Department and also take on the main responsibility for HR as well as finance and contractual matters (which Per-Olof was responsible for during the spring). Per-Olof will continue as Deputy Head of Department and in his role as Assistant Head of Department. During the autumn, he will carry on his work on infrastructure issues, lead the working group for the new organisation at the Institute of Marine Research and act as a contact person together with me in dialogues with central HR at SLU regarding the new travel time agreement.

Information meeting for all of SLU Aqua

When: September 12, 13:00–14:00
Where: Teams (the meeting will be recorded and available afterwards on SLU Play). See separate invitation in Outlook (coming soon).
