Connect to an internationally recognised and strong educational environment that attracts both students and teachers from near and far. Both AAU and UCN distinguish themselves by collaborating with each other and the business community and sharing specialised knowledge.

Aalborg Convention Bureau has a very close collaboration with both the education and research community, as many meetings and conferences are organised in North Jutland with a focus on knowledge, research, innovation and education. The relationships are based on our extensive practical knowledge of organising large events and their professional competencies in many disciplines such as engineering, social sciences, humanities, health sciences and more.

Easy access to knowledge

The Nordic approach to knowledge is characterised by openness, trust and confidentiality, and it is pronounced in North Jutland, where professional knowledge is often shared between people to maximise the benefit. Collaboration in groups and with close ties to the business community in particular has become a trademark of AAU, and it has proven to be an effective way to create good and realistic connections between theoretical and practical learning.

A report from Clarivate Analytics in 2022 places seven researchers from Aalborg University on the list of the most cited in the research world in scientific publications worldwide. This is a testament to the weight of their knowledge, but also to their willingness to share it diligently, making themselves influential and accessible.

Businesses develop the future

North Jutland is also home to a large concentration of knowledge-intensive companies, many of which are based on the knowledge and resources generated at educational institutions, or at least benefit from the people who have completed their education in North Jutland. Many of the companies are also very interested in and concerned that the knowledge they have really comes into play - both in collaboration with other companies and research environments. That's why they organise meetings and conferences themselves to attract people to North Jutland, or they contribute to the content.

Make use of our network
