Honorary awards at SCIENCE
At SCIENCE, we have three honorary awards that celebrate and pay tribute to the research and work that is done every day at the faculty.
The awards are presented to researchers, lecturers and staff at SCIENCE who have excelled in various ways. The awards are presented once a year.
Every year, students can nominate their favourite lecturer for the Teacher of the Year at SCIENCE award. The award is given to a lecturer who has performed particularly well in relation to delivering engaging teaching, continuously developing his/her teaching, knowledge sharing with colleagues and supporting student learning.
The award consists of DKK 75,000. Which must be shared between the recipient and his or her teaching team.
Nominating a candidate
Individual students or groups of students on Bachelor's, Master's, PhD and Master's degree programmes can nominate a lecturer for the award.

The only assessment criterion is the excellence of the project and the graduate. The award is presented by the Dean on the basis of recommendations from the faculty's departments.
Together with the award, the three winners will receive DKK 25,000 each.
