IMGA Denmark Chapter Secretary Jörg Schullehner Named Lecturer of the Year
Jörg Schullehner, IMGA Denmark Chapter Secretary, has been appointed Lecturer of the Year at the Faculty of Health, Aarhus University, in recognition of his teaching in Public Health.
As course leader for Environment and Health, Jörg has systematically integrated medical geology perspectives into the curriculum, including topics such as drinking water quality, groundwater resources, and arsenic exposure. His teaching is characterised by a strong emphasis on experiential and interactive learning. Students engage directly with real-world issues through activities such as sampling and tasting drinking waters from different regions of the world and participating in climate exposure experiments simulating tropical conditions.
The award reflects the high appreciation among students for both the teaching approach and the relevance of medical geology to public health practice. As one student noted in a course evaluation: “I would have never thought that water wells and drinking water treatment plants could be so exciting.”
