If you need help with translation from Danish into English, try using the new and improved version of AU Translate. AU Translate works in the same way as online translation solutions like Google Translate, but is tailored to AU’s needs. The new version of AU Translate is still based on AU's own terminology bases and translation memories.

Taxi Services:
In The Greater Copenhagen and East Jutland region (including Aarhus), we have entered into an agreement with Dantaxi, which gives us a discount of 20% (Greater Copenhagen) or 10% (East Jutland).
We therefore ask everyone who is travelling by taxi in these two areas to use Dantaxi.
You can pay with AU credit card. Guests can travel with Dantaxi using taxi tickets, if the department is to pay for their transportation. The taxi tickets are provided by the secretariat.

Hotel:
For overnight stays at a hotel in Denmark, you must use one of the hotels listed on the hotel list. The list is available on the AU website under Hotel agreements.
Hotel rooms in Denmark must be booked by direct contact to the hotel. Search pages such as hotels.com may not be used.
You can get help booking hotel rooms in the secretariat.

Air Travel:
As a rule, all air travels must be booked through our travel agent CWT. This also applies to guests travelling at AU's expense.
If you can find a cheaper trip by going directly to an airline (SAS, Norwegian etc.), you are allowed to do so.
It is however not permitted to purchase tickets through search pages such as travellink.dk, flybillet.dk or the like, as extra fees may apply, which in the end can make the ticket more expensive than if it had been purchased through CWT.
If you have any doubts, use CWT.
You can get help with booking flights in the secretariat.

E-commerce:
AU Procurement is in the process of implementing e-commerce in  IndFak. This should make it easier to comply with the purchasing agreements entered into when ordering standard items.
In August 2019 the first purchasers will receive training in the e-commerce module. These are employees in the Secretariat, the laboratories and the workshop.

Project Purchase:
Major acquisitions, e.g. Machinery and equipment for specific projects cannot normally be purchased under a purchasing agreement. In this case, it must be examined whether the purchase should be tendered.
AU Procurement can help determine whether a procurement is to be offered and to help formulate a tender text which ensures that we get exactly what we need at the best price.
AU Procurement can be reached via email: udbud@au.dk

Unfortunately, It is often seen that tables, fume cupboards and sinks are left dirty in the labs.

If you use the labs, please make sure you tidy up and clean after use.

If your students use the labs, it is your responsibility to make sure they tidy up and clean after use.

Samples are being left in the corridors and ongoing experiments in the laboratories, both without contact information.
Correct markup contains as a minimum: full name, phone no. and/or email address as well as the date of the setup.

If you have any questions regarding the use of the laboratories, please contact Charlotte + 4527782809 | charlotte.rasmussen@geo.au.dk
