Professor Dorthe Døjbak Håkonsson has just been appointed new member of the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV) on the basis of her research.

Yesterday, Eva Schwendel, Maria Paternoga, Christian Kærgaard Pedersen and Frederik Teilmann Rye Jensen received the Danish Export Association’s Graduation Award. The award is presented every year to a Bachelor’s project and a Master’s thesis which make a special contribution towards promoting exports among Danish companies.

9 May 2017 saw the kick-off meeting for the newly established foundation entitled AUHE Midtvest’s Støttefond. The foundation is a commercial self-governing institution aiming to consolidate the collaboration between the Department of Business Development and Technology at Aarhus BSS in Herning and the local business community in Central and Western Jutland.

It was a specific suggestion from an employer panel of moving the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (HD) (Financial Counselling) from Aarhus to Herning that got the Director of Studies at BTECH Jan Laursen and Vice-dean Peder Østergaard thinking back in the fall of 2016. The suggestion has now resulted in the decision to offer the programme in Herning as of the autumn of 2017 after many years of declining applications figures in Aarhus.
