GETTING STARTED IN DENMARK
Getting Started in Denmark is an event organised by International Academic Staff Services (IAS) that offers orientation and registration for newly arrived internationals. This is an event for newly arrived PhD students, researchers and their spouses. The event is held the first and third Friday of the month from 9 am to 12 pm. The next event will take place on Friday February 21, 2014.
The event provides you with important on-arrival information and provides you the opportunity to get registered with the public authorities for your EU residence certificate, CPR number and tax card. The goal of the event is to aid you in making a smoother transition to Denmark. This event is divided in two sections which take place at two different locations.
In our attempt to reach all of our International AU staff and PhD's, we kindly ask you to spread the word to your newly arrived colleagues and those who may benefit from this event. Your help will be greatly appreciated. We have now posted the dates for the full spring and summer sessions in the Getting Started section of our webpage.
