Mikkel Bo Madsen and Merete Monrad have received 4.4 million DKK from Velliv Foreningen to carry out the research project "Workplace Inclusion of Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum".The project explores the possibilities for workplace inclusion of young adults on the autism spectrum, with a particular focus on the interplay between gender and autism in relation to sustainable workplace inclusion.

In addition, Tanja Dall is involved in a three-year research project supported by Velliv Foreningen which aims to investigate the possibilities for creating sustainable workplace inclusion for adults with mental health challenges in Danish small and medium-sized companies.

The project is led by Claus Brygger Jacobi (University College Absalon) and Mette Toft Rønberg (KP). It is anchored at University College Absalon and also involves partners from Code of Care and Væksthuset.
