Whoa! One of these international recruitments is Professor René Urueña who is joining us at Helsinki Law from Universidad de los Andes (Colombia)! René is a brilliant scholar in public international and comparative law, global governance, and international economic law, among other fields. Welcome!
Now as the dean at Helsinki Law I am more active with our Faculty news but not forgetting my research. Mostly I hang on in LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/jtmahonen/ but I try to be more active here, too. Social media is tricky and it is hard to anticipate trends.
Aww, thank you Pedro (I guess!)
