News from the desk of the Head of Department 
 

Welcome to the first newsletter of 2025 as we are nearing the end of a busy month for many of us. January is not only the beginning of a new year, but also a significant month for our department. January marks one of our two most important examination periods over the course of the year. On that note, I would like to extend my gratitude to our dedicated teaching staff, and everyone involved in teaching, supervision, instruction and administration of our students for their hard work and commitment during this busy time. Your efforts are invaluable, and I appreciate your unwavering support for our students.  

Economy – the results are in 

The annual results for the finances at Aalborg University have been released. At the department level we end up with -6.4 mio., which is a considerable deficit judged from the goals set during the year. Our initial budget was set to -5.8 mio. as part of the department’s strategic investment. This however changed to first 0 and later 2 mio. during the year due to difficulties at faculty level. These changes quite early in 2024 prompted us to work diligently to reduce costs and increase income at the department level. Thanks to everyone who has helped by e.g. reducing expenses and increasing buyout. Although we end up with a larger deficit than what we aimed for, these efforts have not been in vain. The reasons for the – 6.4 mio. deficits have been unforeseen changes in income and expenses for the department, e.g. a larger salary increase that expected (-2.5 mio.) and an unforeseen decrease in income from teaching (less STÅ that expected -2.1 mio.).     

Nevertheless, our department is part of a larger ecosystem, and the good news is that both the faculty and the university did better than expected. ENG ended up with a financial result of +6.6 mio. (budget +6.4 mio.) and the result for AAU is +87 mio. which is much better than the +11 mio. budgeted.   

Funding – looking ahead 

Dependent on how we view the intake of new externally funded projects at the department, 2024 was a mediocre year or a fantastic year. When we look at the projects registered, we did worse that expected, whereas when we look at the projects we applied for in 2024 and won that we did great. At present we have attracted new projects worth 112 mio., so far, based on projects that we applied for in 2024, and we are still awaiting decision on a considerable number of projects. Most of these projects will be registered in 2025 and we have thus a tremendous start on the way to reaching our budgeted goal for new external funding for 2025.  

As we gear up for the upcoming semester starting on February 3rd, please allow me to wish everyone for a productive and inspiring year ahead! 

Warm regards, 

KIM 

Kasper Tolborg Receives Prestigious Villum Young Investigator Grant 

We are proud to announce that Assistant Professor Kasper Tolborg from our department has been awarded the Villum Young Investigator Grant from Villum Fonden. This prestigious grant enables Kasper to establish his own research group and lead a groundbreaking project to accelerate the discovery of new materials – a key step toward the green transition. 

The project combines quantum chemistry and machine learning to develop methods that address entropy and disorder, with a focus on designing solid electrolytes for next-generation batteries. Congratulations to Kasper on this well-deserved recognition. 

Launch of Our New Strategy for 2025-2029 

The department strategy is now finalized and available for everyone to explore. This strategy reflects the collective efforts and insights from across the department and sets a clear path forward for the coming years. 

You can find the full strategy on our website here: Department Strategy 2025-2029. Additionally, a graphic version of the strategy is also accessible via the same link. 

To ensure transparency and involvement, a forms link will soon be available on the website, providing everyone with details about the strategy's implementation. This includes information on current and upcoming initiatives that will unfold over the next four years. 

For those who prefer a printed version, copies of the strategy will soon be available in the lunchroom on the fifth floor and the administration. Feel free to pick one up for personal reference or to share with guests, at meetings, or other events. 

As part of the next steps in the implementation phase, the strategy implementation process will be discussed in detail at a joint strategy meeting between the Department Council and the Management Committee on February 6th. Thank you all for your contributions and commitment to shaping the strategy.

Per Halkjær 40 Years of Excellence 

At the start of the new year, following the Christmas holidays, we celebrated Professor Per Halkjær Nielsen's remarkable 40-year career at Aalborg University. 

Per's groundbreaking work in microbial ecology and environmental biotechnology has greatly enhanced our knowledge of the "hidden" microbes in both natural and engineered systems, such as wastewater treatment, bioenergy generation, and resource recovery. His entrepreneurial vision resulted in the successful establishment of the spin-off company DNASense, and his dedication to teaching has guided the careers of numerous students. His collaborations with industry and leadership in major initiatives like MiDAS and Microflora Danica have had a far-reaching global influence. His unwavering passion for microbiology and his mentorship of emerging talents continue to inspire us all. Congratulations to Per!  

Helle Blendstrup farewell coffee 

After more than 40 years of dedicated service at Aalborg University, Helle Blendstrup reached a significant milestone in december —her well-deserved retirement. 

Helle has been a cornerstone of the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience, ensuring that our teaching and research laboratories have run smoothly for decades. With her unwavering helpfulness, sense of humor, and “we’ll figure it out” approach, she has supported countless colleagues and students through the years. 

Though Helle’s work may not have been celebrated with research or teaching awards, her contributions have been no less essential. Without her dedication and efforts, much of what we have accomplished simply wouldn’t have been possible. 

Highlights from ‘State of the union’ 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent department meeting! It was a wonderful occasion filled with important updates and celebrations. 

We had the pleasure of officially welcoming our new dean, Jesper Wengel, who emphasized his interest in collaborating with us at the departments - a commitment I greatly appreciate and will actively support in the future. 

A special moment of the meeting was celebrating Reinhard, Niels and Yuanzheng who marked an incredible milestone: their 25th anniversaries. Congratulations to our jubilees on this remarkable achievement!

NEWS FROM THE DEPARTMENT COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES  

Consultation Committee 

Next meeting is scheduled for February 13. The agenda includes reviewing the 2024 annual financial statements, evaluating the competence strategy and the autumn performance reviews (MUS), as well as discussing well-being and the work environment. Most sections have now completed a well-being workshop, which will serve as a foundation for these discussions. 

Management Committee 

The Management Committee (MC) will undergo a DiSC program in 2025 as part of their leadership development. Key topics for the year are expected to include the Candidate Reform, strategy implementation, and related priorities. 

Department Council 

The Department Council recently conducted a Diversity and Inclusion workshop, with a Sustainability workshop currently in preparation. Both initiatives build upon the outcomes of the Summer Seminars held in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, a joint strategy implementation workshop with the Management Committee is forthcoming. Next ordinary meeting is scheduled for February 11.
