60th anniversary

24.09.2026

It all began with medicine – 60 years of medical education at SDU

The University of Southern Denmark is celebrating its 60th anniversary. To mark the occasion, throughout 2026 we will be focusing on some of the key themes that have their roots in 1966 and which still characterise the university today. This time, the focus is on medicine. In fact, it was the need for more doctors that sparked the establishment of the university. 60 years on, medicine and health continue to play a central role – now with new opportunities for research and innovation at the intersection of medicine and technology.
