Psychiatrist Sofia Rydgren Stale is proposed to become the new chairman of the academics' umbrella organization Saco.
I want a society where education, knowledge and competence pay off, she says.
Göran Arrius is leaving after 14 years as chairman at the upcoming Saco congress on November 12-13. A unanimous nomination committee has proposed that the Scanian Sofia Rydgren Stale, currently chairman of the Swedish Medical Association, takes over as new Saco chief for four years.
Is the union important for academics?
Yes, I would say that. The union is important for the Swedish model to work.
