From Researcher to
Group Leader

The development of research talent is highly prioritized at AIAS. Fellows are offered career developement opportunities and are provided with research support and time and space for advancing their research and grow as a researcher.

The optimal research conditions at AIAS not only allow fellows to advance their career, they also enhance deep-thinking and thinking outside-the-box for the benefit of developing novel and exploratory research projects and directions.

On this page you can see some of the research ideas and results that have awarded the fellows with prestigious career grants, enabling fellows to initiate their own research group or research laboratory.

These research groups will generate new knowledge and results that bring solutions for the benefit of society and humankind. Research span areas such as circular bioeconomy and waste treatment, developing novel genetic tools, and mapping urban evolution and resilience.

Cross-faculty Research Group Leader Network

Initiated by former AIAS fellows, a network for young group leaders at Aarhus University has been established at AIAS to share experiences, best-practices and to extend network and collaboration across faculties.
