The mission and vision of the University of Aarhus must be
reflected in its core activities. According to the tradition of
European universities, research and education are the cornerstones
of a university. The University of Aarhus therefore has great
ambitions to provide research, research-based advice to the
authorities and education of a high international standard that is
constantly being developed. As a prioritised activity, the
university assumes responsibility for developing talented young
researchers. As a distinguishing feature, the university wishes to
support the development of talent all the way from the Master’s
degree level via PhD studies and to include a first postdoctoral
appointment. In order to implement its core activities, the
university needs to develop and further expand a number of internal
support functions. The following priorities represent the areas on
which the university plans particular focus in the coming
years.
