Our Professors

The title of Professor embodies the highest level of academic expertise and is held by the foremost representatives of an academic discipline. At the same, a professorship is also a teaching position, representing the research and knowledge front in a particular subject. The work of a professor encompasses the entire academic spectrum including research, supervision of doctoral students, teaching and collaboration with other parts of society, e.g. companies and organisations.

It was an important milestone as a relatively recently established university, when the government granted permission in 1997 to set up a number of professorships. The first five professors were appointed in 1999. Over the past ten years a further 20 professors have been appointed. Read more about our professors below.
