From the Management
Welcome back to a new year at CEC, where we start 2021 with a new name, a new Director, and a new leadership organisation. Yet, CEC will continue its work with research, education and collaboration, across subject boundaries, to promote sustainable development. The new organisation with a separate Director, Per Persson, and Chair of the Board, Henrik Smith, will strengthen CEC. The Director will be supported by four Assistant Directors focusing on undergraduate education, Katarina Hedlund, PhD-education, Natascha Kljun, research, Yann Clough, and stakeholder interactions, Anna Ekberg. Also the board is new. Read more on the CEC website
As mentioned above CEC has changed name to Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap). Please remember to change the name in your e-mail signature and in, for example, different kinds of templates and documents that you are using. Do also remember to notify those you work with or collaborate with, especially if you know that they mention CEC on their websites.
We have noted that some employees do not have any information (text and/or image) on their personal staff page. We would like to ask everyone to complete their page as soon as possible. Especially in these times, when we can’t meet physically, it is important that new employees (and former employees) still can get to know their colleagues and CEC, and the web is an important tool there. Updated information on the web is also important for all forms of communication at CEC.
Finally – as we know, there are many who feel bad in these times of corona and hard restrictions where we can’t meet as usual. Keep caring for each other and keep in touch with each other.
Sustainability Forum and Agenda 2030 Graduate School have published new webpages with a new layout and more information about their activities. You can also read about the updated mission of Sustainability Forum, with more focus on education and student participation.
