Dear all, As a follow-up for the residential meeting at Vejle, before which I only had response from 2 groups, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with talent students: "Please also take responsibility for organizing suggestions for host groups for “Talent students” (i.e. students being admitted to the talent program from their second year); such groups may consist of the entire topical group or one or more subgroups." Please include in your (preferably brief) response which (sub-)groups you suggest, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the 1/2 year (which product?).

[vip-all] Styrk Talentet!/Empower Talent! - Tilbud til videnskabelige medarbejdere / Offer for academic staff
by Katrine Vasegaard 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Kære alle (in English below) Det er nu muligt at tilmelde sig AU's mentorordning Styrk Talentet!, der matcher videnskabelige medarbejdere på post-doc/adjunkt/forsker-niveau med kolleger på lektor/professorniveau for en 1-årig periode. Formålet er bl.a. at skabe mere dialog om karrieremuligheder, som kan medvirke til at fastholde og tiltrække talentfulde medarbejdere. Fristen for tilmelding er 22. oktober 2017 på www.au.dk/styrktalentet<http://www.au.dk/styrktalentet>. Ifølge evalueringen fra de første hold, som har afsluttet deres forløb, vil 100 % anbefale ordningen til kolleger: · "I den periode, hvor jeg har været mentee er jeg blevet mere sikker på, at jeg går efter en akademisk karriere, og mulighederne for det er kommet tættere på. " · "Mentor-møderne har været en rigtig god måde at få reflekteret over jobmæssige drømme og mål, og få truffet nogle beslutninger ift. at prioritere i opgaver og planer." · "Det er fantastisk at have nogen at tale med om de næste karriereskridt, som hverken vil vinde (eller tabe) direkte på at give råd til én." · "Erfaring med at lytte og mere forståelse for de udfordringer, som unge akademikere står overfor i dag." · "Det er en fordel, at blive matchet på tværs af institut og fakultet. Det betyder at mentor-møder kan noget andet end MUS-samtaler og forskningssupervision." · "Set fra mentors side har det været meget interessant og en styrke for mentor-menteeforholdet at tale med en fra et andet fakultet, det kan jeg helt klart anbefale." Mvh Katrine __________________________ Dear all It is now possible to register for the AU mentor scheme Empower Talent!, which matches staff at assistant professor level (assistant professor/researcher/postdoc) with more experienced colleagues at associate professor level or above for a period of one year. Among other things the purpose of the scheme is to get more dialogue about career opportunities, which may contribute to retain and attract talented employees. Deadline for registration is October 22, 2017 at www.au.dk/en/empowertalent<http://www.au.dk/en/empowertalent>. Experience and evaluation from previous participants shows that 100% recommend the mentor scheme to colleagues: · " In the period where I have been a mentee, I have become more certain that I want to pursue an academic career, and the possibilities for that have gotten closer." · " The mentor meetings have been a really good way to reflect over career dreams and goals, and to make some decisions in relation to prioritizing tasks and plans." · "It's great to have someone to talk to about the next career step that neither will win (or lose) directly on giving advice to you." · "Experience with listening and more understanding of the challenges faced by young academics today." · "It's an advantage to be matched with someone from a different department and faculty, because it means that mentor meetings can do something different than SDD interviews and research supervision.." · " From the perspective of the mentor, it has been very interesting and a strength for the mentor-mentee relationship to talk to someone from a different faculty. I definitely recommend it."

[vip-all] Geospace workshop
by Brigitte Christina Henderson 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Dear All, We would like to invite you all to the first Geospace workshop, which will take place at the Geology Auditorium on 4 October from 9am to 16pm. Geospace is a synergy project between Department of Geoscience and the Department of Engineering at Aarhus University and GomSpace. The aim of the project is to investigate the possibility for utilising the revolution in the accumulation of so-called geospatial data we have witness the past decade. At the workshop, projects utilizing geospatial data will be presented, as well as new ideas for future projects, including synergy projects with the Department of Engineering and the industry. Participation in the workshop is free, but you will need to sign up before 28 September, so we know how many we should order drinks and food for. Please go to augeospace.weebly.com<http://augeospace.weebly.com> for more information and for signing up. On behalf of the steering group, Christoffer Karoff

[vip-all] Ole Rømer Colloquium today at 12.30
by Karin Vittrup 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Ole Rømer Colloquium Tuesday 26 September 12.30 in 1525-626 Title: "Visualizing the Atomic-scale Structure of Catalyst Materials" Speaker: Jeppe Vang Lauritsen, iNANO Abstract: The development of new, non-expensive materials for catalysis is seen as a crucial progress for securing energy resources and for better protection of the environment. Obtaining detailed control of materials on the nanoscale is of essence in catalysis, but often a lack of insight into the fundamental physical and chemical processes occurring on catalytically active surfaces hampers the progress. We pursue the goal of understanding catalytic processes on surfaces by focusing on what happens on the atomic-level. Scanning Probe Microscopy techniques (SPMs) are particularly strong techniques in this regard, since they allow us to visualize the atomic structure of surfaces and sometimes directly see the outcome of catalytic reactions. In my talk, I give examples on how we successfully use the SPM in interplay with other surface science techniques (e.g. at ASTRID2) to investigate industrially used catalysts for e.g. NOx pollution abatement and new earth-abundant catalyst materials for hydrogen production. Applying catalytic conditions at elevated pressure can lead to important changes in the surface structure, and I will also outline how such challenges can be met by new instrumentation capable of imaging and characterizing surfaces while the catalyst is under 'working conditions'. Coffee and cake will be available from 12.20

[vip-all] Ole Rømer Colloquium today at 15.15

Ole Rømer Colloquium Wednesday 20 September 15.15 in Fys. Aud. Title: Exploring the attosecond frontier of matter Speaker: Eleftherios Goulielmakis, Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik Abstract: Having the shortest optical1,2,3 and soft x-ray fields4 as a part of its repertoire, attosecond physics has recently opened up new avenues for exploring ultrafast electronic processes in atoms5,6, molecules7, surfaces8 and nanostructures9. I will discuss how modern advancements of the "ultrafast toolbox" allow for the first time, the exploration and control of fundamental electronic phenomena in the nanoscale. Electron motion in bulk media, driven by intense, precisely-sculpted, optical fields give rise to controllable electric currents, the frequency of which extends to the multi-Petahertz range9-10, advancing lightwave electronics10 to new realms of speed and precision. Coherent extreme ultraviolet radiation emerging by these coherent charge oscillations9 offers direct insight into structural and dynamical properties of the underlying medium which were previously inaccessible to conventional solid-state spectroscopies. By endowing essential x-ray spectroscopies of solids with attosecond temporal resolution, optical half-cycle fields, combined with extreme ultraviolet pulses, offer for the first time, access into the attosecond dephasing of electronic excitation of highly-correlated condensed phase electronic systems11. We anticipate these new capabilities to result in far reaching implications to fundamental and applied, electronic and photonic sciences.
