The Aarhus University Board

Bestyrelsen ved Aarhus Universitet

The Board is Aarhus University’s highest authority, and its mandate is to promote the university’s interests as an institution of research and education. The Board determines the framework for the university's organisation and sets long-term goals for its activities and development.

The Board meets approximately six times annually. On the agenda are review and adoption of the university's budget and strategy in addition to discussion of general trends and developments in the areas of research, education, and research-based public-sector consultancy.

Members of the Board: Michael Christiansen (Chairman), Peder Tuborgh (Deputy Chairman), Mariann Fischer Boel, Kirsten Jakobsen, Maria Juhler-Larsen, Lars Rohde, Erik Strange Petersen, Margareta Wallin Peterson, Martin Tang Sørensen, Christian Thyrrestrup and Gitte Ørskou.

Pursuant to the university’s Articles of Association, the University Board consists of eleven members. Two members are elected by and from academic staff, one member is elected by and from the technical/administrative staff, two members are elected by and from the university’s full-time students and the remaining six members are external.

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.
