It is often said that Northern Jutland would not have been where the region is today if it were not for the university. But the university would never have existed or developed as it has if it were not for the people of Northern Jutland. AAU would like to thank you.

So, on 18 September, the university invites all North Jutlanders to an exciting afternoon providing insight into the importance of research for everyday life and society as a whole. The event offers exciting conversations with some of the country's leading researchers, coffee, cake, and the opportunity to take part in the debate.

Staff and students are also very welcome to participate in the event that takes place from 15.00 to 17.00 at CREATE, Rendsburggade 14 in Aalborg. The event is in Danish.

Participation is free of charge. Register here
