Augustin F. C. Holl, ARC director gave an introductory speech putting the 2022 ARC Fellows achievements into broader perspectives. They are talented young scholars who supported the ARC multidisciplinary agenda during the last two academic years despite the great challenges posed by the global Covid-19 pandemic. The World international scene is experiencing a seismic shift that has to be factored in the thinking of the 2022 PhD in their future projects.
