As member of staff at the Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering, you are welcome to invite guests. If you wish to invite a guest, please follow the procedure below.


Guests are welcome at Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering. If you consider inviting a guest, you must make sure that your head of section has approved the stay and the guest must be able to finance the visit on his own without financial support from Aarhus University.

Please send an e-mail to Helle Elbæk Alfastsen. Then she will contact the guest and take care of the formal part of the paper work.

Please send the following information about ALL guests (EU and non-EU) three months prior to planned arrival:

  • Approval from the head of section in an e-mail
