“This is both a gratifying and honoring confirmation of the pedagogical work we put in. To be admitted this very year adds extra value as it includes a position in the Disciplinary Domain 's new Pedagogical Academy, which since January offers a platform for discussion on teaching-related issues, which is something I find very interesting,” says Ulrika Rosenström, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry.

“When I was awarded the Pharmaceutical Student Union's Pedagogical Prize, the motivation emphasized that I show commitment to and interest in teaching, that I am sensitive to the students' differences and provide support based on individual needs.
