Umea University helps AIT develop a student exchange program and an up-to-date analytical laboratory at AIT
Dr. Per-Anders Bergqvist (Pekka) from Umea University, who had a cooperation with AIT in analyzing dioxins discharged from a Pulp Paper mill in Vietnam back in 1992-1994, visited AIT last week. He will help develop a student exchange program between AIT and Umea University and is also working with Dr. Kim Oanh, Dr. Preeda Parkpian and other faculty members in the environmental engineering & management field of study to develop an up-to-date analytical laboratory at AIT. Another outcome of the visit is a proposal for a research cooperation project between AIT and Umea through possible funding by the Swedish Research Council Formas and Sida.
