Guidelines for free conference supplies

Free conference supplies for events with external participants

In AU’s webshop, AU staff can order free branded conference supplies such as AU notepads, pens, lanyards, nametags and free vouchers for local attractions for use in connection with conferences they organise for Aarhus University. You can only order free conference supplies for academic events at faculties/departments/schools/centres with external participants. Examples of eligible events include academic conferences, seminars and symposiums. In some cases, we can also provide free conference supplies in connection with other types of events with international guests, for example visits by delegations from Denmark and abroad,  as well as major (national and international) conferences hosted by the administration.

When you order conference supplies, remember that:

  • We will require fourteen days to pack and send your order. We may not be able to accept orders with shorter delivery deadlines. This is due to the fact that the internal mail service only collects conference supplies from Events and Communication Support once a week.

You can’t order conference supplies for use in connection with classes, internal courses, staff meetings/seminars and so on. If you need branded supplies for events of this kind, you can buy them from AU’s webshop; Aarhus BSS merchandise is available at www.bssbooks.dk/da/

These guidelines have been put in place to ensure that conference supplies are used for their intended purpose: To support academic events while at the same time branding Aarhus University vis-à-vis its partners and the world at large.

Help us be sustainable

At Aarhus University, we are working to make our conferences more sustainable. To help us reach this goal, we strongly encourage you not to order more conference supplies than you need, and to make every effort to reuse conference materials whenever possible. You are also welcome to return any unused items (by agreement) to Events and Communication Support at Trøjborgvej 82-84, 8000 Aarhus C.
