Decision to prolong Deputy Vice-Chancellors’ appointments expected

Professor Dieter Müller will continue his role as Deputy Vice-Chancellor with responsibility for research and doctoral education in social sciences and the arts. But he will take on a new assignment too – responsibility for the University's role in the ongoing societal transformation in northern Sweden. The extended appointment will run from 1 July 2022 until 30 June 2025.

Professor Heidi Hansson has previously announced that she is not available for reappointment as Deputy Vice-Chancellor of education.

In addition to her current role, she will also take on responsibility for the European Universities Initiative (EUI).
