Sandbjerg Estate

Aarhus University receives a 25% discount on the 24-hour conference stay price at Sandbjerg Estate. This discount was agreed to make it more attractive for Aarhus University’s employees to use Sandbjerg Estate for courses and seminars. The 25% discount applies to Sandbjerg’s 24-hour conference stays but does not apply to additional services such as extra drinks or celebration dinners.

Sandbjerg’s standard price for a 24-hour conference stay is DKK 1,525 (2022 price). With the discount this comes down to DKK 1,143.75 including VAT. 
Sandbjerg’s standard price for a 24-hour conference stay is DKK 1,675 (2023 price). With the discount this comes down to DKK 1,256.25 including VAT. 
It is also possible to deduct 100% of the VAT for everything except catering, for which you can deduct 25% of the VAT.

The discount applies to all participants in events that are arranged by AU. This means that the discount applies to all of the participants in a given event regardless of their place of employment, as long as the organiser is employed at AU. Contact Sandbjerg Estate to hear more about how to get the discount.

ARoS

The agreement between Aarhus University and ARoS offers:

  • Free ARoS vouchers for participants in AU conferences, which grant them free access to ARoS during opening hours:
    Vouchers are only available for conferences and events that include external participants.
    The vouchers are intended for conference participants to use in connection with their conference stay in Aarhus during their ‘free time’ outside of the conference programme (before, during or immediately after the conference). Vouchers will therefore be valid from Saturday in the week before the conference until Sunday in the week of the conference (example: The conference takes place from Wednesday 16 August until Friday 18 August 2023 – the voucher is valid from Saturday 12 August until Sunday 20 August). When you place an order, you must therefore state in which week the voucher should be valid in connection with the conference/event. Please note that it is not possible to order vouchers for Den Gamle By as well as for ARoS. Therefore, please choose between these two options when ordering vouchers.
    You can order vouchers via our web shop
  • Free admission tickets to ARoS for visiting professors:
    Please also note that visiting professors at Aarhus University who receive assistance from the Relocation Service or who participate in Getting Started events may receive a free admission ticket so that they can visit ARoS for free during their stay. To request these tickets, please contact Talent Development and Research Mobility
    You can order vouchers via our web shop
  • Free use of the ARoS auditorium when you purchase a catering package in 2022 or 2023
    Prices range from DKK 355 per person (excluding VAT) for a half-day meeting to DKK 435 per person (excluding VAT) for a full-day meeting. Visit this website to see ARoS’ catering packages: aros-moeder-og-konferencer-priser-aug-2022.pdf. A full-day package includes breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee and cake – with focus on locally sourced produce and a climate-friendly menu. Breakfast and afternoon coffee and cake are served at the front of the auditorium, and lunch is served in the restaurant on the eighth floor. The auditorium can hold up to 178 people but can also be used by smaller groups. Please note that the museum opens at 10:00 but that conference guests are welcome from 09:00 – as the conference organiser, you can access the building thirty minutes earlier via the gate. The museum closes at 21:00 on weekdays and at 17:00 at the weekend. It is closed all day on Mondays. If you need an extra conference room, you can hire one from DKK 3,000 per room (excluding VAT).
  • Events at ARoS that do not include free use of the auditorium:
    If you wish to hold an event (a welcome reception or a guided tour as part of a conference, etc.) at ARoS, you will need to buy admission tickets to the museum. Vouchers cannot be used for this type of event. Admission tickets must be purchased as part of the agreement you make with ARoS. If you are organising an event that includes refreshments, admission tickets will be priced at DKK 85 per participant (standard price DKK 140). The Aarhus University Research Foundation (which finances vouchers and discount agreements) has also made a special agreement with ARoS to get a 10% discount on AU events (the discount does not apply to admission tickets, which are already offered at a reduced price, or to special offers/prices).
  • Creative activities for guests: If you would like to inspire and challenge your guests, ARoS offers a range of art breaks (‘kunstpauser’). Read more at aros-moeder-og-konferencer-kunstpause.pdf. Art breaks are offered at the following prices:
    Giant jigsaw puzzle: DKK 1,500 excluding VAT (max 20 people at the same time)
