Exhibition on health and sustainability comes to SDU

The exhibition is a collaboration between the Faculties of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark, and the aim is to use seven portraits to highlight the resource crisis and environmental development that in many ways affects both the planet and human health.

"With this exhibition, we want to show that there are talented researchers at universities across the country who actually take this seriously. The researchers portrayed here are all helping to make a difference - and we want to show the world that we can still make a difference," says Ole Skøtt, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at SDU.

The exhibition will be displayed outdoors and the 7 portraits of the 8 researchers are set up on 7 exhibition boxes that can withstand wind and weather. It is a travelling exhibition that was first exhibited at the University of Copenhagen and will now make a stop in Middelfart and then move to locations under the auspices of SDU for inspiration and knowledge sharing.

"I hope this exhibition will be an inspiration to current, new and future students. So they can see that it is possible to combine a career in health science with doing something good for climate and sustainability. And I hope that our researchers will be inspired too. As well as the public who pass by or visit us here on campus," says Dean Bente Merete Stallknecht from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen.

The exhibition has just moved from the University of Copenhagen to the waterfront in Middelfart, where it will adorn the waterfront on the occasion of Klimafolkemødet, which is held from 29 - 31 August 2024. The exhibition will then move to SDU in Odense and later this year it will move to SDU's campus in Esbjerg.
