Every year, AAU's main areas select a Teacher of the Year, and true to tradition, this year's five recipients were honoured on Friday at the university's annual celebration at Musikkens Hus in Aalborg.
The Obel Family Foundation supports the importance of challenging, motivating teaching. Of the five Teachers of the Year, one is awarded the main prize. The Obel Family Foundation's Teaching Award of DKK 50,000 while the other four nominees each receive DKK 25,000.
The main prize this year went to Jannie Sønderkær Nielsen, Associate Professor in the Department of the Built Environment (BUILD).
She received the award for her teaching in partial differential equations, probability theory and statistics where her goal is motivated students who solve concrete problems with complicated mathematics in a safe learning environment.
