Guest Researcher Support
The Guest Researcher Support is aimed at guest researchers and guest PhD students visiting AU and their hosts.
In brief, the service covers assistance to ensure that the guest has the relevant and proper permit related to his/her visit to AU.
Who can use the service
This service is aimed at non-employed, non-enrolled researchers and PhD students visiting AU. If the guest researcher/PhD student brings family, we are happy to offer our assistance to the family members as well, however only to a very limited extent.
Students, except for visiting PhD students, are not covered by the service.
Our service to you as a guest
Your host at AU should initiate the process and provide us with information about your visit to AU.
Contact your host to start the application process for a work and residence permit.
When we have confirmation of your visit from your host, we will contact you and:
- Inform you about the relevant and necessary permits (e.g., to work and reside in Denmark) and assist you during the application process
- Inform you about insurance issues as a guest and advise you on which insurances we recommend you take out personally
- Provide you with information about practicalities for internationals in Denmark. You can already now have a look at the following pages on our website: of our homepage:
- Introduce you to other AU services to international researchers and PhD students
- Introduce you to social activities, events, clubs etc. of relevance for internationals at AU.
With respect to accommodation during your stay your host department or the AU International Housing Office might be able to assist you.
Your host department will take care of welcoming you and practical issues related to your arrival, for example office facilities, log-on to relevant systems, keycards etc.
