Depression in young adulthood is more often associated with genetic factors and an increased risk of suicide attempts compared to depression that develops later in life. This is shown by a new large study. The Danish part of the study is led by Associate Professor John Shorter from Roskilde University.

This year, the honorary alumni award goes to the president of the Danish Society for Nature Conservation, who has placed nature and climate high on the political agenda.

Associate Professor Céline Brassart Olsen has just received a €1.5 million grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to map mothers’ rights during pregnancy, birth and the post-partum period.
