Aarhus University's anti-corruption guidelines provide a definition of corruption and set out concrete measures for how to manage situations with potential conflicts of interest or corruption.
The guidelines apply to everyone affiliated with Aarhus University — including employees, students, visiting lecturers, partners and board members. They help to safeguard the integrity of Aarhus University and to promote a culture of accountability, trust and openness.
The guidelines are based on recognised definitions of corruption, as set out in Danish legislation and international anti-corruption agreements, such as the United Nations Convention against Corruption. They form part of Aarhus University’s regulatory framework for research collaboration with external parties. You can find this framework here: Legislation and rules for research collaboration with external parties
Please note that some foundations require institutions to have anti-corruption guidelines in order to receive grants. If you have any questions about this, please contact the Research Support Office at DANIDA.FSE@au.dk.
