Research programmes and professors responsible for the programmes
Each research programme has a professor responsible for the programme. For the programme coordinator's tasks etc. see the Rules of Procedure for the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology.
The professor responsible for the research programme is appointed by the area board (delegated to the working committee) on the proposal of the head of department.
Terms of office will be three years from 2021-01-01, but without a limit on the number of terms of office.
