The Research Unit Psychology of Sport, Excellence and Health (PSYCH) builds on one of the Institute’s original foundations – the pedagogy of human movement.
The vision of the research unit PSYCH is to be recognised across Denmark and internationally as ‘the place to go’ for the latest innovative thinking and research, in talent development, pedagogy, and entrepreneurship of human movement.
In cooperation with organisations, public institutions and businesses, PSYCH works with innovation and development of products, services and concepts.

- To research the innovative and applied use of the pedagogy of human movement and sports psychology in order to enhance participation, performance, learning and talent development.
- To introduce students to the latest theories and practices of teaching human movement.
- To stimulate entrepreneurial thinking in the field of pedagogy of human movement and equip practitioners with the skills to pursue innovative ideas.
