Dekan Gladhaug og visedekan NebbEditorial: Management changes

Dean Ivar Prydz Gladhaug thanks Vice Dean of Innovation and Internationalisation, Hilde I. Nebb.

Hilde is both enthusiastic and extremely hard-working. This has enabled her to achieve significant results that the Faculty are both grateful for and proud of. I and the office of the Dean have really appreciated the working relationship we have had with her over the years. It is great to see Hilde move onto the position of Director of the Greenhouse, which she has played a key part in developing. Together with the rest of the office of the Dean, I would like to wish her the best of luck in her new position.
