DURING ANDERS Hallberg’s time as<br />
Vice-Chancellor of Uppsala University, re-<br />
search has been evaluated by expert panels<br />
twice. A similar assessment has been initi-<br />
ated regarding education. There can be lit-<br />
tle doubt that he puts great emphasis on<br />
quality work.<br />
– It’s always valuable to have “critical<br />
friends” who review the quality of activi-<br />
ties and suggest ways to improve them. Re-<br />
search evaluations are important not least<br />
for the researchers themselves. We’ve man-<br />
aged to persuade prominent researchers<br />
from all over the world to set aside time to<br />
help us improve, says Anders Hallberg.<br />
<br />
Strategic initiatives<br />
The research assessments have laid a foun-<br />
dation for more strategic commitments and<b<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=1">NEW HORIZONSMAGAZINE FROM UPPSALA UNIVERSITY</a> NEW HORIZONSMAGAZINE FROM UPPSALA UNIVERSITY<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 2" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=2">New Horizons 2/2011THEME: A NEW WORLD 4 Dra</a> New Horizons 2/2011THEME: A NEW WORLD 4 Dra<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 3" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=3">Uppsala UniversitydECEMBEr 2011New Horizons is</a> Uppsala UniversitydECEMBEr 2011New Horizons is<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 4" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=4">THEME: A NEW WORLDDramatic start sparked </a> THEME: A NEW WORLDDramatic start sparked <a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 5" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=5">THERE ARE many reasons why people arerevolting i</a> THERE ARE many reasons why people arerevolting i<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 6" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=6">THEME: A NEW WORLDRevolution </a> THEME: A NEW WORLDRevolution <a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 7" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=7"> THEME: A NEW WORLDSymbols of the oldregime</a> THEME: A NEW WORLDSymbols of the oldregime<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 8" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=8">THEME: A NEW WORLDLaw – about life or deathLaw</a> THEME: A NEW WORLDLaw – about life or deathLaw<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 9" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=9">Uppsala is mustering its forces to enhance our kn</a> Uppsala is mustering its forces to enhance our kn<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 10" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=10">THEME: A NEW WORLDWATER SUPPLY– from th</a> THEME: A NEW WORLDWATER SUPPLY– from th<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 11" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=11"> THEME: A NEW WORLD</a> THEME: A NEW WORLD<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 12" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=12">UPDATEVice-Chancellorwith a focuson quality</a> UPDATEVice-Chancellorwith a focuson quality<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 13" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=13">DURING ANDERS Hallberg’s time asVice-Chancell</a> DURING ANDERS Hallberg’s time asVice-Chancell<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 14" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=14">UPDATENext Vice-ChancellorTEXT: ANNICA HULTH</a> UPDATENext Vice-ChancellorTEXT: ANNICA HULTH<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 15" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=15">RESEARCHIn the search for alternative energy</a> RESEARCHIn the search for alternative energy<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 16" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=16">TREMSEA: RYCTHAWHERE ON THE EARTH’S CRUST is</a> TREMSEA: RYCTHAWHERE ON THE EARTH’S CRUST is<a title="2_2_Horizonter_eng_web page 17" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/68f53aa7?page=17">once per quarter.
