LIFE’s international collaboration strengthened

LIFE has received DKK 1.5 million from the Villum Foundation Velux Visiting Professor Programme 2011-12. The financial support from the foundation is of great importance to LIFE as this grant enables us to attract highly qualified foreign professors who will be able to infuse research environments and students at all levels with new international knowledge and inspiration.

 

The grant means that over the next two years LIFE will be able to benefit from the presence of these six guest professors:

 

Host: Barbara Ann Halkier, Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology – guest professor Dr. Daniel Kliebenstein from UC Davis

 

Host: Jan K. Schjørring, Department of Agriculture and Ecology - guest professor Dr. Enzo Lombi from University of South Australia
