Research is a fast business. Scientists move between institutions, expand their networks and refine their research focus and publication strategies. Institutions - hopefully - keep in touch. The Centre bids farewell to a group of scientists who each in his or her way have contributed to an ambitious research agenda. We appreciate and support ongoing contact with the Centre's Alumni Fellows and there is a group of Associate Fellows, who continue collaboration in the context of specific research projects. What follows here is a short profile of six outgoing fellows with their upcoming affiliation, indications of activities during their fellowship, their time of stay and the topic of the contractually agreed research project. Fare well!
