Three researchers from UPSC were highlighted during the ceremony. Nathaniel Street and Stephan Wenkel were installed as new professors and Stefan Janson officially received the 2023 Bo and Barbro Hammarström Award for his efforts to promote academic research and development.
During the Annual Ceremony, Umeå University honours its newly appointed honorary doctors, new professors, and award recipients. With two new professors and one award recipient, UPSC had a strong presence at this years’ ceremony. Both, Stefan Jansson and Nathaniel Street, have been working at UPSC and Umeå University for several years, while Stephan Wenkel was recruited as new professor earlier this year.
Umeå University’s Annual Celebration Ceremony spanned two days starting on Friday with the opening of an exhibition and a lecture by one of the new honorary doctors. On Saturday morning, all new honorary doctors, new professors and award recipients gave popular science lectures. The official ceremony, where honorary doctors were conferred, new professors were installed, and awards were presented, took place late in the afternoon on Saturday.
