You are the Program Coordinator at WISE. What does the role imply?
The WISE program office is responsible for administration, economy, events and similar. We are located in Norrköping but some of our co-workers are based at other WISE universities. As program coordinator I am head of the Program Office
What did you do before WISE?
Before I became the program coordinator for WISE, I was engaged in the Program Office for WASP (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program).
What would you say is the best versus the most challenging part of your job?
The funniest part of my job is to meet with all talented and creative people, to get an overview of ongoing research in the field, and to learn more about the sustainability aspects of materials research and use. The most challenging part of my job is to meet the needs for support and information from such an incredibly fast-growing research program, which includes many different organizations. Luckily, I work with a real dream team at the WISE Program Office!
