Police research network

I have some minor relationship with the police academy at UMEÅ university. They have gathered all researchers interested in police research in a network. Interesting is that we are really two police officers in that network, and both are working in the same county. In total there are not very rare that police officers do research, when they beside the police academy has to study at least a bachelor degree in some other subject, in which they later can become PhD students in. There have been a few officers that have reached a PhD degree, but they are very few.

Professor

Tomorrow two senior researchers that have applied for the post of professor in Archival and Information science at Mid Sweden University, will have a 45 minutes lecture.

After many years the process of getting a full time professor is almost finished. A professor will strengthen our research team, and hopefully, we can in a year or two have own PhD students. The professor will be the first full professor in Archival and information science in Sweden, and this will be of great advantage for Mid Sweden University. For me personal I must admit that it is wonderful to have a professor available in the same corridor, that I am working in. This far have my research been a very lonely journey, and to have other researchers to discuss problems with on daily basis is something I look forward to.

So hopefully we soon can announce that a new Professor has its base in Härnösand;)

Paper Accept

Have got a paper accepted for the conference EMCIS 2007, European and Mediterrean Conference on Information Systems. The conference is held in Valencia, Spain between 24-26 June.

The conference can be found at: http://www.iseing.org/emcis/EMCIS2007/main.htm
From the preliminary program, a couple of very interesting presentations seems to be held.

Valencia in June there might be a risk of very warm weather;) and as a person living in the north I prefer winter!
