SDU closes its contemplation room permanently

Since the temporary closure of the contemplation room in February, the University’s management has responded to a number of enquiries from students, citizens and NGOs. In addition, the University’s management has held meetings with student representatives and others, during which the issue was discussed and various views and experiences were shared. SDU’s management has taken note of the views and experiences presented by the different parties.

Based on the University’s role as a knowledge institution with research and education as its core tasks, SDU’s management has concluded that it is not the University’s responsibility to provide a dedicated space for individual contemplation or reflection. Therefore, the University has decided to close the room with permanent effect from 1 September 2025.
