Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, Deputy CEO of Dansk Erhverv, and Regional Director Marc Perera Christensen to the department.

They were received by Professor and Deputy Head of Department Anders Møller and Professor Kasper Green Larsen, and the conversation focused on our research and educational activities – particularly our strong position in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI).

Topics discussed included:

• How to maintain and further develop our world-leading research – including the ability to attract top international talent
• The political and structural challenges we face in recruiting international students and researchers
• The mismatch between the number of IT specialists we educate and the high demand from industry

We greatly appreciate Jakob and Marc’s curiosity, engagement, and strong interest in the activities taking place here in Aarhus – and we look forward to continued dialogue on how we can best support Denmark’s digital future.
