On May 7, 2022, Prof. Beeckman was officially inaugurated as a full professor of nursing science at Örebro University in Sweden. In his role, he will establish the Swedish Centre for Skin and Wound Research (SCENTR) and work strategically with the Faculty of Medicine and Health to develop and internationalise research. He will combine this post with his professorship at Ghent University.
