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. Christensen, Individuelt moralsk ansvar i skyldens tidsalder (Individual Moral Responsibility in the Age of Guilt)
Cecilie Bjerre, Paternity In Denmark, ca. 1920s–1990s (PAID)
Eva Knutz, Co-designing new support practices with young children
Eva Lykkegaard, Students' voices on wellbeing (VoiceWell)
Gro Hellesdatter Jacobsen, EXPECT_Art
Janne Liburd, ISOSCAN
Johanne Louise Christiansen, QURANATURA
Jytte Isaksen, Aphasia is more than a language impairment
Kathrin Maurer, Aesthetics of Biomachines
Michael Paulsen, Playing with disaster
Nina Nørgaard, Kommunikation om Seksuel Sundhed (Communication about Sexual Health)
Nikolaj Elf, Centre for Primary School Research 2.0
Søren Wind Eskildsen, (Second) Language Learning in the Wild
Susana Tosca, Forskning i kulturarv og Digital Entertainment Machine (Cultural Heritage Research and Digital Entertainment Machine)
Thomas Heebøll-Holmøll-Holm , Fama in Medieval Denmark (ca. 1240–1340)
Tina Høegh, InDi – Inclusive Dialogue
Tine Hindkjær Madsen, Reconciling Science and Democracy
Torsten Bøgh Thomsen – H.C. Andersen’s views on nature and technology
These are just to name a few. Fortunately, there are far too many for me to mention everyone.
And of course, a huge thank you to the generous partners who made it all possible:
The A.P. Moller Foundation
The Augustinus Foundation
The Carlsberg Foundation
The European Commission
Independent Research Fund Denmark
Novo Nordisk Foundation
The Velux Foundations (Villum Fonden & Velux Fonden)
Best wishes
