Center Director Susanne Mandrup is one of several leaders of Centers of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation who have contributed to a new chronicle published in Altinget. The authors argue that long-term investments in fundamental research through Centers of Excellence are essential for maintaining Denmark's strong international research position and for enabling the scientific breakthroughs that will address future societal challenges.
In the chronicle, the researchers emphasize that fundamental research requires stable and long-term funding to foster ambitious ideas, attract international talent, and develop the next generation of researchers. They warn that without renewed investment in the Danish National Research Foundation, Denmark risks losing momentum in areas where it currently excels and weakening the research environments that have produced internationally recognized discoveries.
