This year, AU Engineering has offered study places on engineering programmes to 1,092 applicants. This is an increase of 19% compared to 2019.

The number of applicants to engineering at Aarhus University increases once again. After a year of stagnation due to coronavirus, young people flock back to AU Engineering.

You wouldn’t think it, but the sewer can be a huge source of valuable resources in a future circular bioeconomic society. Massive flows of nutrients and potentially sustainable building blocks are currently going to waste in the world's treatment plants. An international team of researchers is going to change that.

Astronauts find it difficult to maintain a natural circadian rhythm and generally complain a lot about their sleep. Aarhus University's Center for Ear-EEG has developed a technology that can read the brain's electrical activity and map our sleep patterns. The technology, along with astronaut Andreas Mogensen, will travel to the International Space Station ISS to examine the differences between human sleep patterns on earth and in space.

How fast can we get a total green energy system? That was the title of the panel discussion Friday evening in the 'Tech Tent' at Denmark's Political Festival, Folkemødet, based on rising energy prices, the Prime Minister's warning of a shutdown of Russian gas and the latest report from IPCC, which emphasizes the need for immediate climate action of a long-term nature.

Once again, AU Engineering participates in the annual People's Meeting (Folkemødet) in the "tech tent" together with the other technical universities in Denmark. Thursday at 12, the tent officially opened with chemistry shows, quizzes and speeches.

Danish researchers are developing new electrical solutions for the transport sector. The aim is to reduce the climate footprint significantly, and the EU is investing DKK 45 million in the project.

Farshad Moradi, a new professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University, has been inspired by the brain in his work to develop electronic devices that can communicate with the brain on the brain’s own terms, and ideally without a battery.

Big Data has led to a paradigm shift in many fields of science and engineering. In fluid mechanics, data-driven methods and machine learning offer great new opportunities for improved modelling capabilities, but they also come with unique challenges. On 15-17 June 2022, Aarhus University is hosting an international symposium on this explosively growing scientific field.

In the world-wide project Tiny Earth, pupils at upper secondary schools, as well as university students and researchers, are working together to find solutions to a major shared challenge: antibiotic resistance. The project is also generating learning and motivation on several levels according to two of the participating school teachers and a Bachelor's degree student.
