In November, the Recruitment Committee will present one or more candidates to the Electoral College, which will interview the candidates and vote for the candidate that they recommend. The University Board will appoint a new deputy vice-chancellor at its meeting on 15 December.
The board decided previously to recommend Erik Renström as vice-chancellor of Lund University, starting on 1 January 2021. The Government formally appoints the vice-chancellor and its decision is expected in November.
