A new world-leading quantum chip with major commercial potential – and his ability to turn research into business – has earned Professor Peter Lodahl the newly established Into Innovation Award.

The research group ENGRAVE has solved a mystery that has captivated scientists for more than half a century: Where do we all come from? Their discovery has earned them one of the world’s largest research prizes, the Into Change Award, worth DKK 8 million.

On July 28, nearly 60,000 applicants will be offered a place on a higher education degree programme. More students have been admitted to professional bachelor’s programmes, while compared to last year fewer students have been accepted for academic bachelor’s degrees in general.

Today was the deadline for applications for Quota 1 applications for a place in higher education. This year, 85,508 people applied — a slight increase compared to last year.

The Danish Minister for Higher Education and Science wants to pay tribute to European research and Danish innovation. The new 'Into Change Award' honours European researchers who have demon-strated excellent research at the highest international level.

The number of applicants for a place in higher education via quota 2 has increased by 4 percent compared to last year. The number of applicants to professional degree programmes in the welfare sector has remained largely unchanged.

Today, five outstanding young researchers of international excellence are being awarded the Elite Research Award, given to researchers who make extraordinary contributions to the promotion of Danish research.
