ILLC Staff and Students changes

Next Friday, February 2, it will be the last working day of Jessica Pogorzelski at the ILLC Office. She has accepted a new job at the teaching institute. We will organize a little farewell party for her on Thursday February 1, from 16-17.30 at the third floor of Euclides, and you are all cordially invited to be present.

I take this opportunity to announce her successor, whose name is Karin Gigengack. Karin is selected after a thorough recruitment and selection procedure (with 65 job applications). Her first working day will be February 2, and she will be working Mondays, Fridays, and Wednesday afternoon. On Monday February 5, during our weekly Euclides coffee meeting at 11, you will have the chance to get to know her better.

We have also invited the big group of new PhD students and guests that will start working here in February. We hope that most of them will be able to come. These are:
1. Jarmo Kontinen (Finland), PhD student
2. Lauri Keskinen (Finland), PhD student
3. Amelie Gheerbrant (France, PhD student (Gloriclass)
