Researchers

RUNSAFE consists of a multidisciplinary group of researchers from around Denmark, all specialized in their specific field of running-related injury research.

The researchers includes Professors, Associate professors, Post Docs, Medical doctors, Midwifes, PhD students and master and bachelor-students. 

In addition, RUNSAFE collaborates with running injury researchers from universities around the world, as we believe that multicultural viewpoints are essential to continuously be at the forefront of international running-injury research.
