About the Centre for Better Childhoods

Scientific Board

The Centre for Better Childhoods' Scientific Board is an advisory panel of leading Danish and international researchers.

Our Scientific Board helps ensure high academic quality in the centre’s research and strengthens the link between knowledge, education, and practice.

The board advises on research direction, methods, and quality assurance, and contributes perspectives on how the knowledge we create can be translated into practice and make a real difference for children aged 0–6 and their families.
