Tage Erlander Guest Professorship. Professor Oystein Fischer nominated
MaNEP’s director, Professor Oystein Fischer, UNIGE, has been chosen by the Swedish Research Council to receive the 2009 Tage Erlander Guest Professorship which was created in 1981 by the Swedish Parliament to honour the prime minister Tage Erlander on his 80th birthday.
The Professorship gives internationally renowned researchers the opportunity to work during one year with a Swedish University or any other higher education institute.
Prof. Fischer will thus collaborate with the Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, where an official ceremony will be held on Friday, November 7.
Professor Fischer wishes to take this opportunity to develop strong collaborations between research groups in Chalmers and the UNIGE. He will do so while pursuing his task at MaNEP as well as the mission the UniGE’s Rector entrusted him with to work on ambitious future developments of physics in Geneva.
