It is with great pleasure that Aarhus University invites you to the 51st Nordtek Conference for Contact Persons taking place on August 16th-18th 2023.
It will be days with lots of opportunities to meet and network with Nordtek colleagues, get inspired, share and discuss best practices and get to know Arhus University and the city of Aarhus.
The theme of this year’s meeting will be “Sustainability – How do we educate engineers for a sustainable future?” We will be presenting some of the AU's initiatives with sustainability and we will be looking at how to make mobility between our universities more sustainable. The programme will be a mix of presentations, discussions and workshops.
