This includes academic conferences, seminars, symposia, and delegation visits from Denmark and abroad.

Aarhus University has 100 poster boards. All units at Aarhus University are welcome to borrow these. See below for details, conditions for borrowing and what to do. Book your poster boards well in advance, preferably at least six months before your event/conference. Poster boards are usually in high demand.
The poster boards measure 158 cm by 190 cm (w x h) and the board proper is 150 cm by 120 cm (w x h). The board is white, and the frame is made of metal. See photo above.
A poster board can fit two posters on either side (A1 poster format). A poster board looks the same on either side. The best way to fix posters to the board is with Powerstrips, which can easily be found and ordered on the Internet. Tape, sticky tack, or similar materials may be used, but please note that posters are more likely to fall down when using these attachment methods. Regardless of what you used, you are responsible for removing all items from the poster walls after use.
Do not write on the poster boards! They are not whiteboards. Do not use whiteboard pens or similar on the boards.
The poster boards are delivered on trolleys (wheeled) with 10 poster boards to each trolley. There is also a box of wheels for the poster boards. You need to assemble the wheels at the place of use. Once the wheels have been assembled, you will be able to easily move the boards around (the boards cannot be set up without wheels). Wheel assembly requires nuts and a wrench. Tools are supplied. After use, the wheels should be removed and the poster boards placed on the trolley ready for return transport. If you have booked a lot of poster boards, consider paying Movato to help with set-up and assembly – see “Help with assembly” below.
Instructions for use and handling of poster boards can be downloaded here
After receipt of final confirmation (from posterboards@au.dk) of your booking, you need to book transport of the boards. ALWAYS use Movato for this, as Aarhus University has a purchasing agreement this company. You need to pay for transport yourself. We have already agreed the practical aspects of the transport with Movato, and they are the only people with access to the warehouse where the poster boards are stored.
You must book the transport no later than one week before the desired delivery or four weeks before the desired delivery if the destination is outside of Aarhus. Transport can be arranged on weekdays, at weekends and during holidays.
To avoid errors, use the booking form when you book the transport. You can access the form via movato.dk/au. The passcode is Aarhus.
Alternatively, contact Movato at drift@movato.dk or tel. 6990 2323.
Read more about Movato at movato.dk/au.
You can ask Movato to help with simple setups at an extra charge. This service should also be booked in advance. For elaborate setups, for example with extra poster boards, Expression can be booked at an extra charge – see contact details below.
Poster boards can be borrowed on a “first come, first served” basis. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will have poster boards available when you need them. If that is the case, you will have to rent poster boards from an external supplier. This also applies if you need more poster boards than are available. Poster boards (not necessarily identical in appearance) can be rented from:
Expression, contact Henrik Hansen, www.expression.dk, tel. 6165 3597, email hh@expression.dk.
As the borrower you are responsible for ensuring that the poster boards are handled with due care while on loan, and that they are returned in the same condition as when you received them. Wheels must be disassembled, all tape, etc. must be removed from the poster boards, and they must be cleaned if necessary.
You are also responsible for booking transport of the poster boards and for ensuring they are returned at the specified time (so they are ready for the next borrower).
You can order the poster boards by sending an email to posterboards@au.dk
In the email, please state:
REMEMBER to send your banner for graphics approval to banner@au.dk before sending it for printing.

There is currently no requirement for contracting with a specific company for installation and removal of your banners. If you are in doubt about which supplier to choose, contact banner@au.dk
There is currently no requirement for contracting with a specific banner supplier. However, we recommend that you obtain quotes from several suppliers. If you are in doubt about which supplier to choose, contact banner@au.dk
For outdoor wall banners we recommend ordering the following material:
Dekotex 130 g with waistband + eyelets per 100 cm or Net PVC 320 g. with folds + eyelets per 100 cm. Or a similar material by agreement with the supplier. The material is slightly transparent but due to perforation it will be more robust to wind exposure. It is a good idea to have your manufacturer go through the order with you.
It often also a good idea to ask your banner manufacturer to send the finished printed banner directly to the person who will install and remove the banner. Remember to agree this with both parties
If you have any questions about booking banners, suppliers or more general inquiries, contact us at banner@au.dk.
AUtoCampus is Aarhus University’s custom-built information truck from 2016.
AUtoCampus is available for loan for one-day events officially affiliated with or sanctioned by AU. See below for more on how to book AUtoCampus, prices, conditions and more.
Borrower
AUtoCampus can be borrowed by employees at Aarhus University.
Events and Communication Support does not provide technical support or other assistance with operating the info screen (see the info display guide in the truck) in AUtoCampus.
As the borrower you are responsible for entering into agreements with the local facilities management team/person responsible regarding power source and placement of the truck.
Uses
Only official use is permitted, i.e. AUtoCampus may not be used for private purposes.
For example, AUtoCampus can be used as a gimmick to draw attention to an event or a message. You are responsible for manning the truck.
Note:
It is not allowed to eat or prepare food in AUtoCampus. If you intend to distribute drinks and/or premade food from AUtoCampus, check with the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration regarding hygiene and inform the nearby canteens (if your event is to take place on AU grounds).
Loan terms
AUtoCampus can be borrowed and placed at a named address one day at a time. AUtoCampus is delivered in the morning and picked up again in the evening, at an agreed time, according to prior agreement with the transport company.
The borrower bears the cost of the transport from the port to the designated location and return, as well as of light cleaning of the truck inside and outside after use. Cleaning charges are calculated on the basis of full hours and will usually amount to 1-2 hours. Any partial hour will be billed as a full hour. The borrower may not handle official transport and cleaning themselves, but must return AUtoCampus in a tidy condition and with all waste removed. If necessary, contact Events and Communication Support at autocampus@au.dk for an estimate of the cost of transport and cleaning before you book AUtoCampus.
AUtoCampus can occasionally be used at the same location for several consecutive weekdays (max. Monday-Friday). The truck will be secured with a trailer hitch lock upon delivery, and the borrower is responsible for monitoring and securing the doors throughout the loan period. In the event of use for several consecutive days, the borrower is also liable for any costs incurred in the event of e.g. vandalism, burglary or similar. For multi-day loans, additional time should be allocated for exterior cleaning.
Note
As a borrower, you are responsible for AUtoCampus throughout the loan period. This means that the faculty, department/school or research environment responsible for the loan is liable for any costs that may arise during this period, regardless of whether these costs relate to the interior or exterior of the truck. Read more about insurance.
Transport expenses
AU has a transport agreement with TinyOffice, who built the truck. They are also responsible for setting up and taking down the truck at the specified location.
The rates are DKK 2,150 per trip under 75 km and DKK 3,300 per trip over 75 km. (valid until 31 December 2024)
If AUtoCampus is set up in Aarhus, the cost of transporting, setting up and taking down the truck will total DKK 4,300.
If AUtoCampus is set up in Herning, for example, the cost of transporting, setting up and taking down the truck will total DKK 6,600.
Cleaning
AU has a cleaning agreement with Kongsvang Cleaning & Facility A/S, who are responsible for cleaning the interior and exterior of AUtoCampus after use. Cleaning is mandatory and must be ordered when booking AUtoCampus.
Cleaning is set at a fixed price of DKK 697 (valid until 1 June 2024).
Parking fines
If you receive a parking fine due to illegal parking of AUtoCampus, you are liable to pay for this yourself.
All prices are excl. VAT.
Location of AUtoCampus
When booking AUtoCampus, please specify both the exact placement at the address and the desired orientation of the front hatches. The truck cannot be moved once it has been put in place by the transport company. Read more under Booking, transport and setting up.
Note:
AUtoCampus takes up some space, so make sure the location is spacious enough and that you have extra assistance at the location to help with manoeuvring the truck into place. Also keep this in mind when you choose a location. The borrower, or a representative of the borrower, must be present when the transport company delivers AUtoCampus. If the transport company determines there is insufficient space at delivery, AUtoCampus will not be delivered, and the full rental fee will still apply. Read more under Loan terms.
Power
AUtoCampus must be connected to power. As a borrower, you are responsible for entering into agreements with the local facilities management team/person responsible for power and for placement of AUtoCampus, well before it is to be set up.
