Two Members of Senior Management Team Get Three More Years in Their Positions
Both the Dean of Tech, Eskild Holm Nielsen, and the director of Enterprise and Innovation, Lone Ryg Olsen, have been extended for another three years in their respective positions.
Eskild Holm Nielsen, dean of the Faculty of Technical Sciences, has been in the position since 2020 and has just had his contract extended for another three years. The faculty state this in a news article. Here, he says that he sees it as his task for the next three years to prepare the faculty for new challenges:
"The geopolitical situation is becoming increasingly tense — uncomfortably tense — and there are societal crises where there is an expectation that we play a significant role in creating security and resilience. That includes cybersecurity, but also the broader digital field, as well as food and the environment. And then there is the whole European policy agenda," he says.
In the announcement, Eskild Holm Nielsen also makes it clear that he does not intend to apply for the dean position again when it is advertised after his new three‑year contract expires.
This life I have now, which I am extremely happy with and proud of, and everything we have achieved… how long should one keep going? By then I will be almost 67. It has to end at some point, doesn’t it?" the dean says.
Director of Enterprise and Innovation, Lone Ryg Olsen, has also been extended for another three years. This is stated by the senior management team in its newsletter on 5 February. Lone Ryg Olsen took office in 2020, and the extension applies from February until 2029, the management informs.
