Venue 

The DHNB Conference 2026 will be held on March 11–13, with workshops taking place on March 9-10. The conference will take place in Aarhus, Denmark, at Aarhus University, in its historic campus buildings situated close to the city center – a vibrant urban environment surrounded by parks, forests, and the coastline. 

The main venue is the Conference Center (buildings 1420–1423), just north of Nordre Ringgade. These historic and versatile buildings bring people together for conferences, talks, and cultural events. With their spacious design and welcoming atmosphere, they offer an inspiring setting for knowledge-sharing and networking. The official address is Fredrik Nielsens Vej 2–4, 8000 Aarhus C.

Welcome reception: On the evening of Wednesday, March 11, all participants are warmly invited to a welcome reception at Antikmuseet (the Museum of Ancient Art)

If you have trouble finding your way around the university campus, you can search for the building number in the FIND AU app or on Aarhus University’s website.

Wi-Fi access: Eduroam is available throughout Aarhus University.

Travelling to Aarhus 

By Air 

The nearest airports are Aarhus Airport (approx. 40 km from Aarhus University), Billund Airport (approx. 100 km), and Copenhagen Airport (approx. 300 km). Aarhus Airport is connected to the city by a direct airport bus (about 50 minutes). From Billund Airport, buses run several times a day to Aarhus, with a travel time of 1.5–2 hours. From Copenhagen Airport, direct trains to Aarhus take around 3–3.5 hours. 

By Train
Aarhus is directly served by Aarhus Central Station, which has frequent InterCity services to Copenhagen (approx. 3–3.5 hours) and other major Danish cities. International travellers can reach Aarhus via Hamburg, with onward connections through Jutland (approx. 5–6 hours). Timetables and tickets are available at DSB.

By Car 

Aarhus is accessible by car via the E45 motorway, which connects the city with the rest of Denmark and northern Europe. Ferries from Sweden and Norway also provide convenient access to Jutland for onward travel by car. Please note that parking in Aarhus can be limited and relatively expensive, especially in the city center and near the university. 

Getting around in Aarhus 

Aarhus has a compact city center, and many hotels, restaurants, and attractions are within walking distance of Aarhus University. The city is also well served by public transport, including city buses and the light rail (Letbanen), which connect the university with the central station and other districts. Taxis are available but relatively expensive compared to public transport. Bicycles are a popular way to get around, and rental options are widely available. 

Several apps offer online tickets for getting around the city – see for instance Midttrafiks app,  the Rejsekort app or DSB’s app (please note that the use of these apps is at your own discretion).
