Important future issues for the faculty and how I can contribute:

The faculty's mission is based on three pillars: research, teaching and environ-mental monitoring and assessment. These rest on a common foundation - physical and digital infrastructures, our 'tools'. Access to these infrastructures is crucial to meet the demands of society and academia. I will work to ensure stable and long-term support for infrastructures within the faculty and SLU to improve conditions for research, teaching and environmental monitoring and assessment at the faculty.

Personal reflections:

I have worked at SLU both as a researcher, teacher and environmental analyst. In the meantime, I have been responsible for national infrastructures such as Artportalen, WRAM and SBDI. I therefore have extensive experience of the challenges associated with operating and providing long term and stable local and national infrastructures at departmental or faculty level. I am passionate about giving this perspective a voice at the faculty, SLU, nationally and internationally.
