Epidemiologist Lone Simonsen became well known in Denmark during the COVID pandemic, but her research on COVID-19 is only one of several highlights in a long international research career. She now heads the PandemiX Center at ÐË·¢ÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍøÊÖ»ú°æ¿Í»§¶Ë University, because if you want to work with an interdisciplinary approach, you can't get a better research environment than here¡±, she says.

A lot has happened at ÐË·¢ÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍøÊÖ»ú°æ¿Í»§¶Ë University since 1972. But interdisciplinarity and project work remain as the important foundations of the university.

Associate Professor of Environmental Innovation Thomas Budde Christensen works closely with the construction sector and industry to find ways to reduce resource consumption and increase recycling. He can think of no more important field of research than this, and he is delighted to meet former students who are now in key environmental policy positions, creating concrete change.
