Who is AU IT?
AU IT is the primary agent in the area of information technology at Aarhus University. Headed by Deputy Director of IT Flemming Bøge, AU IT was created by the merger of a number of central and decentral it offices.
An IT strategy has been developed for Aarhus University, to facilitate the over-all aims of the university strategy, and to further the intentions of the administrative change process. Subsequently, a two-year IT action plan starting medio 2010 has been deviced.
Aarhus University has adopted a management model for IT development projects, according to which the IT Forum treats and proposes an overall prioritisation of project proposals, based on a structured model. The IT Forum administers the complete project portfolio.
