The University of Luxembourg is developing a new campus, and to gain inspiration a management team came to Aarhus to hear more about the AU Smart Campus project. Monday morning, they met with Martin Brynskov, Adriënne Heijnen both from DITCOM and Aarhus University's director, Arnold Boon, who gave them a presentation about Campus 2.0, and they got to discuss smart campus strategies.

Afterwards they had a guided tour by Conor Leerhøy in the new department for Biomedicine, in the Skou building, which is an ultra-modern research building, where they could observe some of the new technologies implemented in the architecture. The newly opened house for student entrepreneurs, The Kitchen, was the next stop on the tour, and here Steffen Longfors from AU presented the AU IoT platform, and Thomas Gilbert from the Alexandra Institute did a small demo on the AU Living Lab. 

Visiting Aarhus Municipality’s City Lab
After lunch the delegation continued towards Dokk1 at the harbour, where they had a small tour in the library space and the City Lab introduced by Kim Søvsø from ITK (Innovation, Teknologi, Kreativitet). ITK creates IT solutions and digital services that support innovative processes for Aarhus Municipality. Bo Fristed, head of ITK then presented more on the City Lab and talked about how they collaborate with Aarhus University and DITCOM in e.g. the SCORE project (Smart Cities Open data Re-use). This was the end of the tour and the delegation from the University of Luxembourg had to leave the country again.
