June 2025

As tradition has it, we set off on our annual summer trip – to SDU’s scenic research station in Svanninge Bjerge. The weather was on our side, and we kicked off the day with a lovely lunch outdoors, followed by garden games, hikes through the beautiful landscape, and plenty of great conversations around the table.

The afternoon brought coffee and delicious homemade cakes, and some took the opportunity for a refreshing dip at the harbour bath in Faaborg. In the evening, our cooking team worked their magic and served a fantastic dinner – topped off with a delightful dessert – so if anyone went to bed hungry, they had only themselves to blame!

The next morning, we woke up to the smell of freshly baked rolls, which we enjoyed together before packing up and heading back to SDU – tired, happy, and full of wonderful memories.
