Since the establishment of our research center, Professor Per Ashorn has served as the director, but he will be moving on to new duties, resulting in changes in our leadership starting in early August. Professor Hannele Laivuori, who previously served as the vice director of the research center, has been appointed as the new director, and Professor Kalle Kurppa has been chosen as the new vice director.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Per Ashorn for his significant contributions to the development and success of our research center. At the same time, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors!
