Additional awards

Awards ceremony at SDU's Annual Celebration

At SDU’s Annual Celebration, four awards are presented for special efforts: the Teaching Award, the Innovation Award, the Research Dissemination Award and the TAP Award. Each award is accompanied with DKK 25,000.

The Teaching Award, the Innovation Award and the Research Dissemination Award are awarded to individual employees and cannot be shared with other persons. The award recipients must be permanent employees of SDU, and they must be present at the Annual Celebration.

The TAP Award is given to an individual member or a group of technical-administrative staff who, in the past year, have made an extraordinary effort in the implementation or fulfilment of SDU’s strategic goals, or who have contributed to creating a positive working environment in their unit and at SDU as a whole.

Each faculty and the Central Administration as a whole can nominate a candidate from their own faculty/area or from another part of the University. The Executive Board determines each year’s award recipients based on the nominations submitted.
