1 forårsprogram 2009 Gitte Haahr-Andersen IC Organiser Dato: Dir.: Afs. CVR-nr.: Vedlagte forårsprogram for (IC) bedes venligst ophængt på instituttets opslagstavle. Desuden bedes institutsekretærerne uddele program og engelsk følgebrev til: instituttets gæster på kortvarige såvel som langvarige ophold fastansatte med eller uden ægtefæller af udenlandsk oprindelse, som kunne tænke sig at være med medarbejdere med dansk baggrund, der har tid til og interesse for at møde universitetets gæster og samtidig deltage i de udbytterige foredrag og ekskursioner. Side 1/1 Der inviteres til at deltage enkelte gange eller regelmæssigt, som tiden tillader det. Nyansatte kan gennem IC få oplysninger om både Aarhus Universitet og Århus by, om dansk kultur og traditioner og desuden møde ligestillede. Har man boet i et andet land, ved man, hvad det betyder. En anden vigtig ting er, at udenlandske AU-ansatte i IC får mulighed for at møde danskere. De er frivillige og til rådighed med venlighed og gode råd. Der kan i IC skaffes hjælp til og oplysninger om mangt og meget, f.eks. kulturelle aktiviteter, skole, legestue, offentlige kontorer, uddannelse og sprogtræning (language partners). Vi vil også gerne tilskynde til, at alle undervisere og forskere får et program, da de jo er nærmeste ansvarlige, når gæster inviteres hertil. Velkommen til forårssæsonen onsdag den 4. februar 2009 kl i Faculty Club, bygning 1421, 1. sal, Fredrik Nielsens Vej, hvor der er velkomst og præsentationsrunde. Yderligere oplysninger kan fås ved henvendelse til Informationskontoret eller undertegnede.

2 Gitte Haahr-Andersen IC Organiser Dato: Dir.: Sender s CVR no: Page 1/1 Dear Internationals The programme begins in February, but some of the IC group members meet informally in Meeting room no. 1.3 (ground floor), building 1421 in Fredrik Nielsens Vej on Wednesday mornings from am. Please join whenever possible. In the enclosed IC programme, you can see that the first meeting takes place on Wednesday 4 February at the Faculty Club and you are invited to come and take part in the IC meetings this spring. At the first meeting, we will give you a warm welcome and introductions will follow. These introductions are considered essential to help you establish a social and professional network at Aarhus University (AU). Since IC began in autumn 1998, it has had an important impact not only on newcomers, but also on many people who have been here for years. Being present where the world comes together is enjoyable for me personally and for the other Danish volunteers. We find it an interesting learning experience. Globalisation is a reality at IC, and it is dealt with in many ways each week. Last term, we had 24 nationalities represented, including many religions, cultures, minds and desires. At the moment, we do not know exactly who will attend the IC meetings and how many will turn up on a regular basis. What we do know is that IC is a free meeting place for foreign guests and their spouses at Aarhus University, as well as newly appointed foreign staff, singles or married couples, male or female. And everybody is invited to benefit from the activities and to find information via the different talks and excursions. The programme is planned with great diversity to enable most of the group members to find interesting topics, but also areas to which you would not otherwise have been introduced. Hopefully, there will be topics of general interest to the majority of the group, and in addition new things to try or understand. IC will present topics such as visiting the man-made port facilities and getting acquainted with the Danish-owned AP Moller-Maersk Group, which is the world s biggest shipping company, as well as how the Moesgård Museum expansion will turn the place into a new cultural history museum. We will have the chance to taste and learn the history behind meatballs and other food from the 19th century. And if you would like to become an author, we will also be introduced to the Aarhus University Press and hear about the AU publishing company and the conditions under which you can submit and have your work/research published! Many more events are on the agenda for the spring term. As in previous terms, everyone who attended IC meetings during the spring term or maybe before that is invited to come again. Newcomers are encouraged to attend and participate. The talks and excursions will not only provide you with information, but will also lead to new networks to help make your integration into Danish society smoother and as friendly as possible. The Danish volunteers and I look forward to welcoming you either again or for the first time on Wednesday 4 February at am in the Faculty Club, building 1421, 1st floor, Fredrik Nielsens Vej (next to the Student House).

4 invitation to join the international club at aarhus university The (IC) is a free activity for all foreign members of staff at Aarhus University (AU). Both singles and married couples are welcome to attend the meetings. Staff members (postdocs, lecturers, professors, guests at AU) and their spouses, regardless of the length of their stay at the university, are invited to come and benefit from the weekly informative talks, excursions and other cultural activities. In addition, IC welcomes Danish staff members and their spouses who wish to meet the international staff members and their spouses. IC was established more than a decade ago with the aim of making it easier and better for newcomers to arrive and work at AU, and to help them enjoy their stay in Aarhus. IC provides a place to meet people in the same kind of situation, including Danes. An important part of the settling in process involves getting adequate information and finding friends in the new society. This is essential and helps the integration process considerably. For years, IC has provided a lot of news about the Danish people, the Danish way of life and life in Aarhus in general. IC has volunteered to help with practical assistance of any kind and welcomes people from all nations, with all languages (although English is most commonly used) and all kinds of educational backgrounds. In addition, IC offers a positive atmosphere and tries its best to help integrate each and everyone here! During the spring term 2009, IC offers a number of informative talks, excursions and social and cultural activities. I look forward to welcoming you and so do the other Danish volunteers. IC is financially supported by the Aarhus University Alumni Association. this term begins on Wednesday 4 February at 10 am with a warm welcome and introduction in the Faculty Club, Building 1421, 1st floor, Fredrik Nielsens Vej (see the campus map on the back of this folder).
