Carsten is well-known at CBS, where he has served in several roles since first joining in 1993. He is currently leading the Danish Research Data for the Social Sciences (DRDS), an initiative supported by a DKK 36 million infrastructure grant from the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science. He has served as programme director for the BSc programme in Economics and Business Administration and as chairman of the Professors’ Association at CBS.
