A decision about King Frederik's patronages has been made:

"The King becomes the patron of North Atlantic House in Odense and Projekt Koltur on the Faroe Islands, both of which have the objective of promoting knowledge of the Realm’s culture and nature, as well as of The Danish Architecture Center, The Brain Prize and The Léonie Sonning Music Prize, which each in their own way focus on Danish design, science and culture in an international context. The King is expanding his involvement in the green agenda as patron of The Copenhagen Climate Ministerial.


In addition to this, The King assumes 14 patronages from Queen Margrethe, of which a number of the organisations have a historical connection with The Royal House of Denmark. This concerns, among others, The American-Scandinavian Foundation, The Danish Bible Society, The Sports Confederation of Denmark (DIF), The Greenlandic House, The Royal Danish Geographical Society, The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, The NORDEN Association and Foreningen til lærlinges uddannelse, an organisation focused on education of apprentices.


In addition, The King retains eight of his previous patronages, including The Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir, State of Green and The Danish Red Cross".

Nice personal touch
"It is a great pleasure to be here today and celebrate your 100th anniversary. Hand on heart, it's the least I can do, because:
You were there when Queen Mary and I were married.
You were there when Vincent and Josephine were baptized.
And you were there when the Crown Prince turned 18.
Among countless other times.
Copenhagen's Boys' Choir has been the soundtrack to many highlights in my life, and it always hits home when I hear you sing. You are the sound of star moments for me."

Indeed. Lots of highlights in his life have included the choir.
Frederik's love/interest of music is well known so it must be important to him.

This is a new patronage for Frederik, the Danish Architecture Center.

King Frederik becomes patron of DAC

dac.dk

"We are very excited about The King’s patronage of DAC, which we are confident will encourage even more Danes to take an interest in the physical spaces that support our collective quality of life in Denmark,...The Royal House has a 400-year tradition of recognizing the importance of architecture in the development of Danish society, and The King’s patronage continues this tradition at a time when architecture and urban development are of great interest to many Danes, especially concerning the sustainable development of Danish society"

 

[Muhler]

It is a very valid topic.
Because the climate changes are affecting us and the infrastructure. There is more rain and more heavy rain with local cloudbursts now being more common. Storms are also more frequent, with several a year now, rather than perhaps two or three.
And DK is pretty flat so any significant rise in the sea-level will of course be noticeable.

All that rainwater needs to go somewhere and as most of our sewers are not dimensioned for that much water at once, quite a lot of investments will be needed in the future. That must be considered the top priority right now. So if you build sewers in DK you won't be out of a job for many years.
Rain water basins are a big success and pretty cheap. It's basically just an Olympic size swimming pool dug here and there both in towns, cities and villages. So such features just needs to be incorporated into the landscape and into the design of new neighborhoods.
For those who are not familiar with rain water basins. They are basically what village-ponds used to be: collecting rainwater for emergencies. In this case cloudbursts and long periods of heavy rain. The rainwater will then be drained away in a speed that does not exceed the capacity of the sewers and in many cases the surrounding landscape.
I imagine rain water cisterns will quietly be build into new city-neighborhoods in the future.
The designs of buildings and especially roofs also needs to be changed slightly. Because as we all know, if water can come in somewhere, it will!
For too many happy years many people build their house as close to water as possible, be that rivers, lakes or the sea. That also needs rethinking. There is a reason our ancestors rarely build houses close to the water outside of towns. They weren't stupid back then! So entire neighborhoods may need to be moved or at least rebuild and secured against floods.
At some point we will also likely have to build more dykes and incorporate that into the landscape and in how we design the future infrastructure. Because if we don't do anything at all, we will have to move half of Copenhagen inland. And as that goes with practically all reasonably sized towns here in DK, that's a lot of moving! To prevent that we may need a dyke or two.
So there will be plenty to do for future architects!

Ironically, you'd think cellars would go out of fashion, right? Wrong. They are too useful and despite the risk of flooding, in the security-political climate of today new cellars will be needed, doubling as air-raid shelters. It's better to build such shelters where people are, rather than building something people have to run to, perhaps hundreds of meters away, that is if they even know where there is one.
So it's back to the good old days of the Cold War, where every public building and all apartment blocks where build with cellars that could double as air raid shelters. Thanks Putin!

ADDED: But there is also good money in this! One of the major exports of DK is know-how about infrastructure and that includes up to key-ready finished solutions for entire towns.

In an unbroken line since Christian VI, Danish monarchs have acted as patrons of the Society of Sciences.So, in connection with the change of throne, earlier this year His Majesty the King took over the role of patron after Her Majesty Queen Margrethe.The King today visited the company, which is based in the Carlsberg Foundation's domicile at H.C. Andersens Boulevard in Copenhagen. Here Her Majesty participated in a meeting and lunch together with, among others, the Society of Sciences' president Susanne Ditlevsen and general secretary Thomas Sinkjær.In addition, the King took part in a tour, where the King saw, among other things, Christian VI's royal rescript regarding the establishment of the Society of Sciences on 11 January 1743, signed by Christian VI himself.The Science Society works to strengthen the position of science in Denmark, including promoting basic scientific research and interdisciplinary understanding.

[Muhler]

Supporting science became - extra - fashionable up to and during the Enlightenment in the 1700s, which was a response to the widespread intolerance and Christian fundamentalism that caused so much calamity during the 1600s.
Now fact-base science and common sense was the order of the day, so every prince and monarch with an ounce of self-respect - and sense of PR - supported science. Also in DK.
Where there already was a long tradition for supporting science and at least listening to an debating new ideas, starting with the Renaissance. And here too Danish monarchs were among the monarchs who supported scientists, astronomers and astrologers too for that matter.
So King Frederik is continuing a long and proud tradition and may it never be abandoned.

 

[polyesco]

Very important patronage and tradition. And I think Frederik has a special interest in science.
Glad we got pictures of this unannounced event.

"The former Secretary General of NATO and former Prime Minister of Norway Jens Stoltenberg gave a presentation on Monday afternoon in Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg for the association DenmarkBridge.

His Majesty the King is the patron of DenmarkBridge, which continuously runs various types of activities on both sides of the Atlantic. The meetings and activities give members the opportunity to rethink business models, integrate value chains and utilize business-critical technology.

After Jens Stoltenberg's presentation, the King hosted a dinner for the network's members, which includes representatives from a number of Danish companies with an interest in technology development and the opportunities it provides for companies' business development and growth.

The association was established by A.P. Møller – Mærsk, Danske Bank, Dansk Industri, LEGO and Vækstfonden in collaboration with the Ministry of Business, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education and Research."

unannounced event today, November 19
"The Royal Danish Yacht Club is Denmark's oldest and largest sailing club, and throughout the sailing club's nearly 160-year history, several of the country's monarchs have been the club's patron ️

In connection with the change of throne, His Majesty the King took over the role of patron of the Royal Danish Yacht Club from Her Majesty Queen Margrethe, and today, at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg, the King received the sailing club's chairman of the board Anne Sofie Munk-Hansen and member Carl Erik Kjærsgaard.

Also present at the reception was the Faroese artist Hansina Iversen, who has created a painting for the King in connection with the change of throne. In the Royal Danish Yacht Club, it is a tradition that the club's members donate a painting to their new patron."

In his capacity as patron, His Majesty the King today participated in State of Green's New Year's treatment. The treatment was held in the State of Green showroom, which the King officially inaugurated in 2019.

Guests at the New Year's treatment included, among others, State of Green's ownership group and commercial partners, as well as key players from ministries and the Danish business community.

State of Green is a non-profit, public-private partnership that focuses on global climate and environmental challenges, and that creates relationships between Danish and international players based on Denmark's experiences, visions and solutions within the green area.

The King has been patron of State of Green since 2008.

Indeed he seems to be just as likeable as he is intelligent… Just like his swedish ESA-colleauges Marcus Wandt and Christer Fuglesang..

Though i guess it will be problematic to be an astronaut and being ”anti-social” when you’re going to be looked inside a cylinder with a few colleauges for up to a year

The sight of all 3 of them at the gala dinner in Stockholm in may during the dk-state visit was nice
