“We are extremely proud to announce that four additional major capacities will contribute to GEUS’ important work on some of the great challenges of our time,” says Flemming Larsen, Managing Director at GEUS.
The nine professors and two affiliated professors will be presented at a joint Professor Symposium at Øster Voldgade 10 in the Ceremonial Hall on 27th November from 1 to 3 p.m. The Professor Symposium is open to everyone.
