Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering Appoints a New Head

Professor Søren Wandahl is the new Head of Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, says the Faculty of Technical Sciences in a news release.

Neither the institute nor the title of head of department is new to Søren Wandahl, who helped to incorporate the School of Engineering into Aarhus University in 2012. Since then, he has contested a variety of positions and has twice been acting head of department.

Now he is no longer acting head but head of department at an institute that recently became part of a major research programme, which will contribute to the development of a more sustainable construction sector over the next ten years.

The Villum Foundation has granted DKK 1 billion to the programme. Søren Wandahl has been involved in drafting the project from the beginning, and now he has the opportunity to help shape its development in his capacity as Head of Department.
