Greetings from the dean

Dear colleagues I am proud of, impressed with and genuinely pleased with the outstanding work my colleagues at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Southern Denmark are doing. They are showing an unrivalled commitment and dedication to bringing important research into play and ensuring that crucial scientific contributions are made wherever they can make a positive difference for and with society. A prerequisite for the success of our research is that we secure the financial basis. It is therefore marvellous to see that we have broken all records on this front this year. Funding has been applied for like never before, and I’m happy to say this has resulted in a record amount of external funding – and we still have many promising projects under review. Research is a collective process, and this year’s application efforts have certainly proven this. Systematic collegial discussions and exemplary collaboration, coupled with the fierce competition where even the best don’t always succeed, means that everyone deserves individual recognition for their outstanding efforts. However, this isn’t feasible, so I’ll just stick to the names on the notices of funding. Huge congratulations to: Anders Ljungdalh, The Formation of Impartiality Anders V. Munch, History of Danish Design Ane Qvortrup, Eco-engagement and eco-literacy Anne-Marie S.
