DHRTC - workshop
Organizer: Gülnur Dogan:
On the 25th of October 2016 Aarhus University (AU) researchers got together with their colleagues from the DHRTC and Mærsk Oil to hear about the challenges for the Danish North Sea and how DHRTC is working towards the solutions in collaboration with academia. The researchers had the opportunity to hear about each other's DHRTC-related research, as well as discussing how AU can contribute further to reaching the goal of increasing oil & gas potentials of the Danish North Sea. Representatives from the Danish Technological Institute were also among the participants, as well as the LFPs from Aalborg University and University of Copenhagen to stimulate the collaboration between partner institutions. Overall, it was a very informative and stimulating workshop.

A new service from AU Library

It is now possible for AUL to automatically import records from the database Scopus into PURE, which means that a large number of the research publications can be transferred in this way.
However, some publications still have to be reported in PURE by the individual researcher, and in future you will twice a year - late August and in December – receive a reminder about check and update your list of publications.
If you have any questions, please contact our librarian Morten Hjorth Gas, mhg@au.dk.
