Lykke Friis will leave the University of Copenhagen this summer. Her contract expires on 31st July and she has chosen not to avail herself of the opportunity to have her employment extended by a further three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter nine fantastic years at the University of Copenhagen, I have decided to move from my ‘Heimat’ and not extend my contract in August. It\u2019s always been my philosophy, that you should not grow roots, but dare to let go. So this summer I will leave UCPH and throw myself into change,\u201d Lykke Friis says in a UCPH press release.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Prorector for Education<\/p>\n

The prorector\u2019s initiatives have included improving the study environment<\/strong> \u2013 physical, psychosocial and digital \u2013 to a total allocation of DKK 70 million. Lykke Friis has also been responsible for improving students’ completion rates<\/strong> and for implementing the study progress reforms. Under her watch, the university also introduced a minimum grade requirement of 6<\/strong> for students to be admitted, and introduced more feedback<\/strong> on the study programmes.<\/p>\n

The University Post wrote up a portrait of Friis in 2009.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lykke Friis has been prorector at the University of Copenhagen twice. First in the period 2006-2009<\/secret>.<\/p>\n

Since then, she retook her position as Prorector for Education in August 2013 after a four-year period in government service as Minister for Climate and Energy.<\/p>\n

Rector: Lykke has lifted UCPH impact<\/h3>\n

Rector Henrik C. Wegener notes in the press release that Lykke Friis’ successor will have some big shoes to fill:<\/p>\n

\u201cLykke has done a large and skilful effort for the University of Copenhagen and she has lifted our visibility and political impact. This is not just true for the University of Copenhagen, but for the whole sector. But I do understand that, after nine years as prorector, Lykke is looking for new challenges, and I wish her all the best,\u201d says Rector Henrik C. Wegener.<\/p>\n

Formally, the Board of the University is responsible for the appointment of a future prorector. This work will start immediately.<\/p>\n

Frue Plads offices with no prorectors<\/h3>\n

On 1st March this year, the other prorector<\/secret> Thomas Bj\u00f8rnholm left his spot in management in favour of a position as research director at the Villum Foundation.<\/p>\n

To the University Post question on how far the Board has got in the process of finding Bj\u00f8rnholm’s successor, management has no comment.<\/p>\n

Deputy Director for Communications Jasper Steen Winkel says that the University Board is free to put together its management team in a range that spans from zero prorectors to several. The same applies to which portfolios the prorectors should have. There is nothing in the statutes on prorectors.<\/p>\n

In February 2017, the University Post set up an overview of the management set-up<\/a> that was available to the new rector Henrik C. Wegener.
