Getting Started in Denmark
Getting Started in Denmark is an event organised by International Staff Office. It offers orientation and registration for newly arrived PhD students and researchers at Aarhus University and their accompanying family. The event is held twice a month.
Get registered in one visit
The event is held at the International Citizen Service (ICS) and provides you with important on-arrival information as well as the opportunity to get registered with the public authorities for your EU residence certificate, CPR number and NemID/MitID - all in one visit. The goal of the event is to aid you in making a smoother transition to Denmark.
Who can participate?
Getting Started in Denmark welcomes newly arrived AU employees and their spouse/partner and children. All family members must show up in person to register, and families with children are usually prioritized to be first in line.
