Dr Anchor has also been appointed to the Editorial Board of Ekonomická Revue: Central European Review of Economic Issues, which is published by Ostrava’s Faculty of Economics.
"It is a great delight for the University of Huddersfield Business School and for me personally to be honoured in this way," he said.
