In 1968, the first courses in computer science were taught at Aarhus University. Nevertheless, the Department was able to celebrate a 215-year anniversary last week. This was a celebration of six dedicated employees, several of whom have been at the Department from the very beginning of computer science at Aarhus University.
The six were duly celebrated with a jubilee reception and a personal but humorous speech to each jubilee from Head of Department Kaj Grønbæk. Family, friends, and colleagues congratulated Associate Professor Emeritus Erik Meineche Schmidt (50 years), Professor Ole Lehrmann Madsen (40 years), Professor Morten Kyng (50 years), Associate Professor Henrik Bærbak Christensen (25 years), Associate Professor and joint trustee Olav W. Bertelsen (25 years) and associate professor Niels Olof Bouvin (25 years).
The Department would like to congratulate and thank you for your great efforts to computer science and at department!
