To achieve these goals, an organisation that is robust, efficient and development-oriented is crucial. Thomas has balanced operations and development with a steady hand and helped us build a solid foundation that gives us the strength to realise our strategic ambitions. I am therefore very pleased that we can continue our collaboration," says Rector Jens Ringsmose.
