Until 2018 the island housed a field station belonging to the veterinary institute of the Technical University of Denmark.[3] Starting in 1938 a vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease was produced on the island.[4]
The Danish government considered but eventually shelved a plan to house, on the island, unsuccessful applicants for asylum with criminal records who could not otherwise be deported.[5]
