Michael Christiansen is stepping down from the Aarhus University Board when his term ends at the end of January 2017. The board is encouraging employees, students and external stakeholders to propose possible new members by 24 October 2016.
For the first time ever, Aarhus University has been ranked in the top 100 of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings which have just been published. The ranking list was established in 2010, and distinguishes itself from other rankings in that it measures research as well as teaching and knowledge transfer.
Last week, Aarhus University could also take pleasure in being lauded in a different category. The American news site Business Insider has named Aarhus University the fifth most beautiful university in Europe.
For those who want to write better applications or know more about the EU and other funders, the Research Support Office is organising various events this autumn. 6 October is the deadline for registering for an information meeting about applications to the Marie S. Curie European Training Network.
