The Obel Family Foundation Teaching Award

The Obel Family Foundation Teaching Award

Each year, Aalborg University receives a grant of DKK 150,000 to support the presentation of the Obel Family Foundation Teaching Award.

Each main academic area appoints a Teacher of the Year, and the Strategic Council for Education then selects one award recipient from among the nominees.

The Teacher of the Year receives DKK 50,000, and the other nominees each receive DKK 25,000. The Obel Family Foundation Teaching Award is presented annually at Aalborg University's Annual Celebration.
