General information

The Mads Clausen Institute for Product Innovation is part of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark. The Mads Clausen Institute is a fairly new institute established 1 July 1999 by means of a donation from the Danfoss Foundation. The Mads Clausen Institute is named after the founder of Danfoss A/S, Mr. Mads Clausen.

The institute employs 65 people involved in research and teaching. The institute deals with innovation on a technology, design and business level, and organises a range of international and Danish higher education programmes. With the combination of research and education, and a close co-operation with industry, the Mads Clausen Institute is an exciting work place and study environment. Nevertheless, this is enhanced through the small, personal and international study environment that is characteristic of campus Sønderborg and its beautiful waterside surroundings.

In 2007 the institute will move to the completely new university building Alsion - www.alsion.dk. The modern building is situated in inspiring surroundings at the harbour front of Alssund. The Mads Clausen Institute will have the most modern laboratory- and teaching facilities at its disposal, ensuring optimum conditions for researchers and students. Among other things, the new university includes clean room facilities.
