Water speeds up hydrogen

Scientists have succeeded for the first time in observing how water affects hydrogen on surfaces. Water significantly speeds up the chemical processes that hydrogen is involved in – a discovery that can benefit a number of industries working with nanotechnology. The scientists responsible for the study include researchers at the Interdisciplinary…

It is, among other things, clickers – like this one – that can contribute to create more active teaching. The teacher can ask students questions, which they then answer using their clicker. That way, the teacher can make sure that the students profit as much as possible from the teaching, and easily notice if something needs to be clarified. At the symposium, “Clickers, Peer Instruction and the Inverted Classroom”, leading researchers within the field will share their knowledge about and experiences with Active Learning. The acknowledge Professor of Physics, Eric Mazur from Harvard University, visits Aarhus University in correlation with the symposium. He has more than 20 years of experience with research in and development of Active Learning in the shape of peer instruction. It is possible at the symposium to meet Professor and Dean of Learning and Teaching, Simon Bates, from University of Edinburgh.

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
