Astrophysicist Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard from Aarhus University has become a member of the exclusive and highly esteemed American scientific society, the National Academy of Sciences. This means the academy now has two members from AU, as Bo Barker Jørgensen, a microbiologist, was admitted in 2020.

Ground has been broken on a major new construction project on the new University City campus. The new 37,000 m2 building will include study, research and teaching facilities for Aarhus BSS as well as a large round lecture theatre with seating for 800. The new facilities will be taken into use in 2025.

In 2025, a new partner house for SMEs and organisations and foundations that collaborate with Aarhus University will open its doors in the University City – bringing external partners even closer to the university’s research and knowledge.
