Ulla Kidmose receives the Vibeke Borchsenius Award

Associate Professor at the Department of Food Science, Ulla Kidmose, has been granted the Vibeke Borchsenius Award, which recognizes outstanding and groundbreaking teaching at Aarhus University. The award comes with a prize of DKK 75,000, funded by the Aarhus University Research Foundation, and is presented at the university’s annual celebration.

Ulla Kidmose receives the award in recognition of her engaging and inquiry-based approach to teaching, in which curiosity, critical thinking and the courage to ask questions are central elements. She creates learning environments where students feel confident challenging assumptions and bringing their own perspectives to the table, an approach that has shaped both her teaching and her research.

She teaches students across Aarhus University and at the Sino-Danish Center in Beijing, and is known for the strong relationships she builds with her students, often maintaining those connections long after graduation. This is highlighted in an article about Ulla Kidmose published by Aarhus University.

The award is named after Vibeke Borchsenius, who was known for her exceptional dedication to her students, and Ulla Kidmose’s work is regarded as a clear continuation of that tradition.
