- In Aarhus BSS, Associate Professor Osman Skjold Kingo was re-elected as the chair.
Due to the faculty division, Natural Sciences and Technical Sciences have postponed the election of employee representatives to their academic councils. Elections will take place in autumn 2020, and until then, the Academic Council of Science and Technology will continue with Professor Marit-Solveig Seidenkrantz as the chair.
