Aalborg University is also supporting Uniform at Work Day this year, originally introduced by Interforce.

The day gives reservists and volunteers (in the Armed Forces, the Home Guard, the Emergency Management Agency or the Coastal Rescue Service) the opportunity to talk with their colleagues and fellow students about the great work they do for Denmark's security. The day will also showcase the many passionate people who are making an extra effort so that we have a safe society.

The idea for Uniform at Work Day comes from our neighbouring countries. It started in Britain where on a certain day reservists put on their uniform to go to their civilian job.

Later, the idea spread to Sweden and Norway where since 2019 and 2020 they have had a permanent Uniform at Work Day. Starting in 2023, Denmark has its own Uniform at Work Day which is on the last Wednesday in September every year.
