The strategy is written in close collaboration between the department's staff and management. In recent years, the department has undergone major changes, where we have gone from a large department, which was merged with the current Department of Biology, to an independent department.

During 2020, Aarhus University came up with a new strategy for the university. Afterwards, the work on our strategy was made in the winter of 2020/2021. This new strategy was published October 8, 2021.
