INTRODUCTION This report represents a combined analysis of the contribution of higher education institutions and research for regional development in the Jutland-Funen region of Denmark. In all, five research and educational institutions from the Jutland-Funen regions have taken part in this analysis. These are the University of Southern Denmark, Aarhus School of Business, the University of Aarhus, the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences at Foulum, and Aalborg University. These five institutions have compiled constituent reports (appendix 1-5) containing a review of the kind of impact the individual institutions have had on regional development. The constituent reports form a substantial part of the background material for this combined report and were developed by the individual institutions, both on the basis of internal studies, and on the basis of a dialogue with external partners, coming typically from municipalities and county authorities, local businesses and other local educational institutions. The five participating educational research institutions enjoyed ample room for manoeuvre in the creation of the constituent reports, though a common thread for all five reports was that four overall questions were addressed: 1. How do the university’s research programmes contribute to regional development? 2. How do the university’s teaching and degree programmes contribute to the regional labour market? 3. How does the university contribute to the social, cultural and environmental development of the region? 4. How can the capacity for regional co-operation be developed in the region? A number of limitations were placed on the self-evaluation report, which is important to note here. The first limitation is on the range of research and educational institutions included in the self-evaluation study. This has led to a sole focus on public institutions offering research-based teaching to their students and postgraduate PhD students. In other words, there is a range of short and medium cycled higher education institutions that do not feature in this self-evaluation report. This is in spite of the fact that these institutions maintain close contact with groups and individuals in their surrounding community. At the same time, however, if all higher and further education institutions in the Jutland-Funen region were to be included in the self-evaluation report, the number of institutions would become so large that the report would become unwieldy and focus would be lost. We have, therefore, decided only to include those institutions where research is also being carried out, and which feature in the Science and Enterprise Network (ForskerKontakten). A number of clarifications are necessary in relation to the actual regional limitations applied to the subject matter of this report. The Jutland-Funen region, which is the starting point for this self-evaluation, is a geographical region consisting of a series of counties and municipalities in which the relevant task management and decision- making competencies are to be found. The Jutland-Funen region has (by virtue of the Jutland-Funen Co- operation of Business Development) a joint trans-county committee whose objective is to reduce the imbalance between eastern and western Denmark. This body also has the aim of reducing the internal imbalance within the Jutland-Funen region itself. The individual institutions have therefore concentrated on local and regional cooperative relations they already have, which in several instances narrows the geographical focus even within the Jutland-Funen region.

Je soulad těchto územních prvků možné považovat za výjimku nebo za pravidlo?

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark. It is in tune with the priorities for 2020: competitiveness, social inclusion and the need for ecologically sustainable change.

    Our view from City Tower A sustainable and grandiose building overlooking Aarhus. Welcome to the top of City Tower, which is Aarhus’s tallest and most prominent commercial building with a fantastic view. The construction of the building was completed in the summer of 2014. In August 2014, our 130 Aarhus employees moved into the premises totalling 4,500 m2 and occupying the 14th, 15th, 16th and 22nd floors of the building. City Tower spans a total of 34,000 m2 divided on 25 floors – the two bottom floors housing the cellar and the under- ground parking area.
