Researchers at Aarhus University have a long and strong tradition for research collaboration and co-publishing and are eager to engage in international research collaboration to the benefit of all involved.

Danish researchers are world champions in writing highly cited academic articles. According to Times Higher Education Supplement's survey of the most-cited nations Denmark ranks as no. 1. However, research excellence is not all. The overall job satisfaction depends upon more factors; social as well as cultural. In this respect Aarhus University has a lot to offer. According to Nature Magazine's International Career Survey, Denmark ranks as the one most likely to provide its scientists with an excellent all-round experience.

Looking at ranking evaluations you will see that universities that engage in collaborative research rank higher than those who do not. You will also notice that co-authored articles are quoted more frequently than articles with only one author.

However, research collaboration is costly and potentially difficult because of language barriers, geographical distance and cultural challenges. A well-established partnership between equals may in our experience overcome these challenges. The more you collaborate with the same partner(s), and the more well-acquainted with each other you become, the more smooth the collaboration becomes. A deep partnership covering several areas opens the door to joint publication, the establishment of summer schools, research collaboration, joint degrees and much more. Please let us know your ideas and perspectives on a potential strategic alliance.
