Midterm evaluation of Copenhagen Center for Glycomics

Center leader Henrik Clausen initiates the DNRF site visit 29.09.2016

Thursday September 29, 2016 the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF) visited Copenhagen Center for Glycomics (CCG) together with an expert panel of three internationally recognized glycobiology researchers: Professor Jamie Marth (University of California), Professor Ten Feizi (Imperial College London) and Professor Göran Larson (University of Gothenburg). The purpose of the visit was to do a midterm evaluation of CCG as a center of excellence, eventually to decide if the center will be granted a second funding period of four years by DNRF. The meeting was highly succesful as summarized by the evaluation report, which was subsequently written by the expert panel: "the center is truly excellent and outstanding from both national and international perspectives".
