Charity No.: 313202 The Anglo-Danish Society is a member of COSCAN (The Confederation of Working for Denmark post-Brexit By Lars Thuesen, Danish Ambassador to UK UK will most likely become more expensive. No doubt that we are going to see fewer Danish students and interns in the UK in the future. Post-Brexit new control mechanisms have been put in place for the trade of goods. There has been talk of 50.000 new customs officers and agents having to deal with 200-300 million extra customs declarations due to Brexit. The overlap between the COVID-19 crisis and Brexit has made it hard to measure the direct impacts of Brexit. The COVID restrictions meant that UK’s GDP dropped by almost 10% in 2020. However, we do know for sure that the former friction- less trade has become more complicated.

Effectively, that means that Danes or other EU citizens who are thinking about moving to the UK are treated like all other foreigners in the future. For Danes in the UK, this has already had consequen- ces. Danish citizens have had to apply for pre-settled or settled status to maintain their rights and the Embassy has put a vast amount of resources into communicating this important message to as many Danes as possible before the deadline on 1 July this year. With the UK leaving the Erasmus scheme and home fees no longer applying to EU citizens, studying in the Scholarship News Selecting the awardees for an Anglo-Danish Society KATRINE STRUNK scholarship is never an easy task. This year was no exception. Although the number of applicants was slightly down on last year (26 compared to 34), the standard was very high and the range of subjects excitingly diverse. The process of considering all the applications is, of course, extensive, but the rewards are significant – not least the insight gained by the Scholarship Committee into new fields of study. Who knew, for instance, that important research was being conducted into the health effects of lead in Scandinavian brown bears or that we produce 13 million tonnes of textile waste each year – which is why sustainable design practices are so important? The applications we receive, therefore, reflect the growing number of inspiring post-graduate opportunities still available to young people in Denmark and the UK. And long may this continue! Our 2021-2022 awardees are:. TÓRA DJHURUUS - PhD at Exeter University in “The Legacy of the Past in Brexit Britain”. A particularly CAOIMHE DOWLING topical area of research, which seeks to add to the discussion about the imperial dimension of British Euroscepticism. MATTIAS HORAN – PhD Neuroscience at University College London, Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour. Mattias has already qualified as a doctor but is keen to work as a physician-scientist. His current area of research examines Alzheimer’s disease and the area of the brain known as the Hippocampal Formation– the seat of the brain’s navigation system. HELLE HYDESKOV – PhD Veterinary Medicine at Nottingham Trent. Helle is studying lead poisoning in Scandinavian brown bears and its health effects. As lead is still widely used in hunting ammunition, the lead from spent ammunition poses a global health problem. The ultimate aim is to create a lead-free environment to improve animal and human health. CAOIMHE DOWLING – MA in Fashion, Clothing, Textiles and News Landscapes for Design at The Royal Danish TÓRA DJHURUUS Academy. This is a new MA course which focuses on how sustainable design practices can be incorporated to reshape the fashion industry and make it more sus- tainable. KATRINE STRUNK – Master of Performance (Vocal) at the Royal College of Music. Katrine’s ambition is to become an opera singer. She enjoys the works of female composers (Alma Mahler, Johanna Muller- Hermann, Clara Schumann) and has produced a concert series on this topic. She became a Søholm Opera Young Artist in 2020-21. You can listen to Katrine sing via her website www.katrinedeleuran.com Scholarship News HELLE HYDESKOV We continue to benefit from the generosity of the Ove Arup Foundation who sponsor a £2,500 award for advanced studies in the Built Environment.

  • Metropol 2020, Nr. 1
    METROPOL 2020, NR. 1 Fra fæstningsby til Øresundsmetropol Af Henning Bro Som afsæt til videre forskning i hovedstads- og øresundsområdets regionale historie sætter denne artikel fokus på, hvorledes Nordøstsjælland i store træk udvikle sig til en af landets mest integrerede regioner. Således de lange linjer fra middelalderens sundbyer, over enevældens total dominerende hovedstad, til dannelsen af hovedstadsmetropolen op gennem det 20. århundrede og dennes begyndende sammensmeltning med byer og landskaber øst for Øresund efter årtusindeskiftet. Fæstningsbyen og dens opland – tiden før 1850 Fra vikingetiden og op gennem middelalderen udvikledes det danske bysystem først i form af selvgroede og senere kongeanlagte indlandsbyer og siden kongeanlagte kystbyer i 1100- og 1200- tallet og i den sidste del af perioden. Byerne blev tidligt omfattet af kongemagtens interesse og udskilt som særlige administrations- og skatteområder direkte under kronen, der yderligere øgede indtægterne fra byerne ved senere tildeling af købstadsprivilegier: En vis form for bymæssigt selvstyre, egen jurisdiktion og eneret til handel og håndværk i en radius af 1-4 mil. Oveni dette vækstgrundlag kom så de rigdomme, som kirkemagten samlede omkring købstædernes kirker og klostre, og den administration af by og opland, som udgik fra de kronborge, som en betydelig del af byerne lå i ly af, og som her ydede yderligere beskyttelse ud over den, som eventuelle bymure, palisadeværker og voldegrave gav. Købstæderne blev bundet sammen i et system og det centrale omdrejningspunkt i den feudale økonomi i form af: Formidling af varestrømme mellem by og opland, administrative og kulturelle serviceydelser til oplandet og modtagelse og videregivelse af varer og tilsvarende ydelser til og fra andre og større købstæder.

    NORDEA BANK PRESENTS A GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN ANNUAL REPORT OF OJSC NORDEA BANK FOR 2013 GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN Annual Report 2013 OJSC Nordea Bank Dear frienDs, I am delighted to present the Annual Report of Nordea Bank Russia. It is the second one in our series of travel guides to capitals of the Nordic and Baltic countries which are Nordea’s home markets. This time — introducing Copenhagen. On my first visit to Copenhagen — well before 2007 when our Russian bank became part of Nordea and we started going on frequent business trips to the Nordics — I was amazed by the city’s unique lifestyle. I would call it eco-friendly: people are lively and active, but no one is in a rush, there are many large modern buildings, but the streets are cozy and intimate, and the whole city is simple, straightforward, nice and comfortable. This guide will not only lead you through Copenhagen’s landmarks, museums, parks, restaurants and clubs, but will also let you feel the free spirit and nature of this beautiful city. Denmark has been one of Nordea’s home markets for over two centuries. Sparekassen for Kjøbenhavn og Omegn, opened in 1820, is among the oldest banks Nordea stems from. It boasts of having served Hans Christian Andersen, the first name you think of when you say Denmark, and we are sure that’s a fact, not a legend. Besides Denmark, Nordea, the largest financial services group in Northern Europe, operates in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Baltics and Russia. 2013 proved to be a difficult year for both global and European economy, its financial and banking sectors.
