Thorbjørn Knudsen will receive DKK 10.5 million and Coen Elemans DKK 6.1 million from the Danish Council for Independent Research (DFF).
Two researchers from SDU have been taken care of in the latest award from the Danish Council for Independent Research. They are Professor Thorbjørn Knudsen of the Department of Marketing and Management and lecturer Coen Elemans of the Department of Biology.
Both will receive allocations running into millions of kroner from the Council’s Sapere Aude career programme that seeks to develop the abilities of the most capable researchers, nationally and internationally.
Thorbjørn Knudsen heads a team researching strategic organisational design, and he has been allocated DKK 10.5 million to conduct research into how to model and design adaptive organisations capable of dealing with constant change. The money is from a fund available to top researchers at the apex of their careers.
Coen Elemans, who conducts research into neuromechanics, has been allocated DKK 6.1 million for his research project “Singer and song: how the brain controls sound production”.
This DFF grant is intended for lead researchers, and the money will enable Coen Elemans to establish his own research team.
