      UCPH is in the process of designing a new shared administrative organisation at UCPH, which is expected to lead to changes within the next months. The purpose of the administrative reform is, among other things, to strengthen cross-organisational cooperation, increase efficiency, and ensure good career paths for administrative staff members at UCPH. The reform will lead to cutbacks on administration. You are encouraged to contact Morten Axel Pedersen to learn more about the connection between this position and the administrative reform.
