With an always constructive approach to the ongoing work tasks and a continuously high quality of task fulfilment, SDU's TAP staff are indispensable for the operation of the university and for the fulfilment of the university's strategic objectives.

The TAP Award is awarded to one or a group of technical/administrative staff who, in the past year, have made a special effort in the implementation or fulfilment of SDU's strategic goals or have contributed to creating a positive working environment in their unit and at SDU as a whole.
