Imagine a future in which plastic is sustainable, 100 per cent biodegradable, and produced without the use of chemistry. This is exactly what researchers at Aarhus University are working on right now.

Daniel Lucani Rötter – CEO of Chocolate Cloud and educated at institutions including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA – is a new associate professor in electronic and computer engineering at the Department of Engineering, Aarhus University.

Aarhus University is taking part in a new nationwide project that will strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises in the wind industry.

Seventeen of the largest and most significant players in the energy sector in Denmark and other parts of Europe will now join forces in a huge project aimed at converting the entire energy system so it is ready to run purely on renewable energy.

Never before has Aarhus University had so few vacant places for the winter intake of Bachelor of Engineering students.

Farming is facing a paradigm shift in which smart IT solutions will modernise the industry and make it more efficient. The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation is granting hundreds of millions to a large demonstration project to boost development.

New sensors and technology for purifying the air will make it possible for farmers to control ammonia emission and remediate odour from livestock production.

With data from 28,000 single-family houses, researchers have analysed the historical development of our actual energy consumption for heating private houses. They can thereby document a clear effect of energy-saving requirements in the current building regulations.

A specially designed lid can solve the problem of burning your tongue when you drink hot coffee. A group of engineering students is behind the invention and they have just started production of the first prototype.

A new energy laboratory at Aarhus University will provide new knowledge about how to optimise a sustainable electricity supply in Denmark and the rest of Europe. Both researchers and students, as well as companies in Denmark and abroad will have access to the state-of-the-art technical facilities.
