Appointment of New Fellows
9th July 2012
The Centre is delighted to announce the appointment of fourteen new Fellows of the Centre. Academics, both from the sciences as well as the humanities, who are researching or intending to research in the field are eligible for consideration. Under the rules, appointment is offered only once to successful individuals within their lifetime, and appointment is by invitation or nomination only. Only a small proportion of those nominated are eventually selected. The process of selection is rigorous, painstaking, and frequently lengthy, and individuals appointed have to have made (or be capable of making) an outstanding contribution to the field.
The new Fellows are:
- Professor Ralph R. Acampora (Hofstra University), Fellow
- Professor Piers Beirne (University of Southern Maine), Fellow
- Leonardo Caffo (University of Turin), Associate Fellow
