Professor Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen has been awarded a Centre of Excellence grant by the Danish National Research Foundation, which gives Aarhus University a strong momentum in Geometry/Topology with the opportunity to host a number of postdocs and PhD students. With this centre also comes close collaboration with UC Berkeley, Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS), University of Oxford and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) - both in terms of sharing postdocs and PhD students, as well as in coordinating research efforts.
