Aarhus University

Students from different fields meet in the numerous Friday bars, in the Student House Aarhus and at concerts in the University Park and around the rest of the city. The Friday bars are often organised by the different departments who set up a small bar in a canteen or classroom where beers and non-alcoholic drinks are served. The university also has a number of libraries, some of which are open around the clock. Almost every department has its own library, but the main library is the State and University Library. It has an extensive electronic journal database which students and staff can access either at the library or from home. Aarhus University Sports (AUS) is open to all university students and organises a wide range of activities from badminton, to fencing and chess.

The Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (founded in 2002 by Professor Flemming Besenbacher) offers a degree programme in nanoscience with an interdisciplinary curriculum covering a broad spectrum of introductory, advanced and specialised courses, aimed at providing the student with a sufficiently broad basis to conduct interdisciplinary research within nanoscience and at the same time achieve disciplinary depth and specialised skills in selected areas. Hence, the programme encompasses physics, chemistry, biology, molecular biology, mathematics and computer science.

Eines der wichtigsten Ziele im Rahmen der Internationalisierungsstrategie der Universität Hamburg ist die Fokussierung auf Strategische Partnerschaften mit Hochschulen, die die Forschungsschwerpunkte der Universität Hamburg sinnvoll ergänzen und bereichern. Um Lehre, Forschung und Verwaltung auch international besser miteinander zu verzahnen, will die Universität Hamburg mit strategischen Partneruniversitäten einen regelmäßigen Austausch von Studierenden, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern sowie administrativem Personal etablieren. Darüber hinaus sollen gemeinsame Studienabschlüsse etabliert und Forschungsprojekte angestoßen werden. Im Rahmen von strukturierten Mobilitätsfenstern soll die Zusammenarbeit mit strategischen Partnern im Bereich der Doktoranden- und Masterausbildung wesentlich intensiviert werden. Bei der Auswahl von strategischen Partnerhochschulen legt die Universität Hamburg folgende Kriterien zu Grunde:

• Beteiligung von mindestens drei Fakultäten
• Kooperationen auf allen Ebenen (Studierendenaustausch, Austausch von wissenschaftlichem und administrativem Personal, gemeinsame Lehrprogramme/Joint Degrees und Forschungsprojekte)
• Langjährig bestehende, erfolgreiche Kooperationen und/oder Potenzial für künftige Kooperationen
• Ähnliche Forschungsschwerpunkte und Exzellenzbereiche sowie komplementäre Studiengänge
• Hamburg-spezifische Interessen (Städtepartnerschaften, Hafenstädte etc.)
• Ranking-Ergebnisse (insbesondere regionale Rankings)
• Kontinentale Ausgewogenheit der Partnerschaften
• Potenzial für Dreieckskooperationen und strategische Netzwerke
• Attraktivität für Drittmittelgeber

Ein erstes sehr erfolgreiches Beispiel eines strategischen Netzwerks besteht seit 2010 mit den Universitäten Aarhus und Syddansk. Diese erfolgreiche Kooperation und weitergehende strategische Vernetzung wurde 2012 mit einem weiteren Partner (Universität Kiel) ausgebaut. Die Qualität dieser strategischen Kooperation zeigt sich gerade auch auf der Ebene der wissenschaftlichen Vernetzung. Seit 2010 sind mehr als 300 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler der beteiligten Universtäten in verschiedenen Projekten aktiv.

Im Jahr 2012 wurden darüber hinaus strategische Partnerschaften mit der Macquarie University in Sydney, der Fudan University in Shanghai, der Staatlichen Universität Sankt Petersburg, der Karlsuniversität Prag sowie der Universität Stellenbosch in Südafrika etabliert.
