In addition to research groups from the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences - which were integrated into the University of Copenhagen through the University amalgamation of 2007 - Food, Fitness and Farma will include scientists from the Health Sciences, Social Sciences and Law faculties working in collaboration.

"This unique cooperation and the 120 million kroner grant are the fruits of a very successful amalgamation process, where we created the framework for and the proximity between many research disciplines. By gathering the various researchers together we've not only created the basis for unique innovation, but this concrete cooperation also increases the possibilities for attracting large national and international research grants, where cross-disciplinary work is today an inevitable requirement," said Ralf Hemmingsen, Rector of the University of Copenhagen.
