The extent of sexist incidents for PhD students is shocking, says the rector. He says new initiatives based on the VIVE report will be on the way.
Rectors nominate themselves to board positions on the Danish Nature Fund, even though they have no in-depth knowledge of nature protection and biodiversity. It is as if the nature crisis is not being taken seriously, according to two researchers. Interest group Danish Universities say that they nominated the candidates who best matched the criteria.
The University of Copenhagen maintains that it is safe to take a written exam with many other students at the Peter Bangs Vej location. There are now guards present and more distance between students to reduce the risk.
More than a hundred researchers sign open letter stating that black staff and students are presumed to be the object of discrimination at the University of Copenhagen. They want the university to investigate the problem.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen receive extensive guidance when applying for funds from the EU and that strategy has paid off. »Other universities are interested in finding out how we do it,« says deputy director.
