The Office of Business Collaboration

AU’s interdisciplinary Business Committee is responsible for the business initiative. The Office of Business Collaboration supports the business committee to achieve the strategic objective of increased collaboration with business and industry. We facilitate collaboration between AU and municipalities, companies, public sector organisations and private organisations.
In collaboration with the rest of the business organisation at AU, we contribute to stronger collaboration across AU.
The goal is for collaboration to be meaningful and valuable for students, researchers, companies and public sector organisations. A number of areas of responsibility in this context include interdisciplinary responsibility for AU Challenge, careers, alumni and CRM.
