AARHUS UNIVERSITY is ranked among the top 100 best universities in the world, and is noted for its fostering a wide range of interdisciplinary centres, institutes, and collaborative projects. It is thus an especially fitting venue for CATaC’12, our eight biennial conference fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

Aarhus, the second-largest city in Denmark, enjoys the reputation of being the happiest city in the happiest country in the world. And for good reasons. Among them: there are many excellent opportunities for lovers of art (Aros Art Museum), Viking and Danish history (including Den Gamle By (the old village) and Moesgaard Museum), open-air markets (Ingerslev), fine food and drink, and nature (including extensive woods, parks, and swimming in Aarhus harbor and neighboring beaches).
