Red Bull pushes the boundaries at AU

Friday bars, dorm parties, and lectures. The energy drink Red Bull is appearing everywhere on campus, and the massive exposure during the Regatta helps to connect the mega-brand to the university, according to two experts.

The government platform for Denmark's new government calls for changes to the criticised Master's reform, a new national AI strategy for the educational sector, more money for research and education, 2.000 new STEM bachelor's student places, and the prospect of a national strategy "from quantum research to quantum industry".

COLUMN: The University City offers a unique opportunity to create new connections

The opening of the University City was the culmination of a project that has lasted more than a decade. It was a manifestation of Aarhus University's ambitions – and not least, it was an opportunity to feel proud of the role our university plays in society," writes Rector Brian Bech Nielsen in his column.
