A meeting; guidelines for digital Ph.d. defense

Today I have attended another faculty meeting, this time an expanded office manager meeting also including other staff and the faculty leadership. The corona virus situation is still dominating most work.

Meanwhile, I have, among other things, contributed to drafting guidelines for digital Ph.d. defenses at the University of Stavanger, which will take effect soon.

PhD defense of Lukasz Andrzej Derdowski presided over

Today I have for the first time ever presided over a PhD defense, following a trial lecture - wearing an academic gown. The doctoral candidate, Lukasz Andrzej Derdowski, was successful. The PhD defense involved a dissertation committee consisting of Evert van de Vliert (Groningen), Mariateresa Torchia (Monaco) and Olga Gjerald (Stavanger).
