Anja Groth
Scientific Enrichment Prize
Scientific innovation requires multifaceted perspectives, strong interdisciplinary collaboration and an atmosphere of trust to promote creativity and explore new ideas – and it is the remit of the modern research director to bring this all into play.
As stated in the justification for awarding the prize to Groth, she takes diversity and inclusion to the next level when composing her research teams, and she wields this approach systematically and actively when leading her research teams at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR) at the University of Copenhagen. She also spends much of her time sharing her experience and knowledge to inspire other research environments.
Successful, creative processes are highly dependent on trust and inclusion – something that is built up over time, and that takes effort.
