The university will be revelling in festivities during the coming period.

On 3 and 4 September, you can go onboard AU's new research vessel Aurora during the Aarhus Festival and meet a number of AU researchers, who will be taking questions from the audience.

Between 4-6 September AU will also be present at this year's Food Festival at Tangkrogen in Aarhus.

On 11 September the university celebrates its birthday, which is marked by the annual celebration in the Main Hall and later the same evening in the Concert Hall Aarhus.

The students celebrate the day with Denmark's largest Friday bar and the sports day in the University Park.
