| Date | Tue 23 Oct — Fri 26 Oct |
| Time | 13:09 — 13:09 |
| Location | Sandbjerg Estate, Sønderborg Denmark |
In keeping with tradition, the annual QGM Retreat is held at Sandbjerg Estate four days in the fall (23-26 Oct. 2018). This is an event of both academic and social significance, and it is exclusive to QGM employees and close associates. Academically, it is a great opportunity for junior and senior researchers to network. Mornings and afternoons are reserved for seminars, at which presenters share their most recent results and discoveries, inviting discussion and feedback from their fellow researchers. Evenings make a perfect setting for relaxation and social interaction which are crucial for the overall sense of unity amongst Centre members.
Annual meeting with the DNRF 23 Oct. 10-12am
This year the retreat begins at Aarhus University Tuesday 23 Oct. at 10 am, where QGM will be visited by representatives from our funding body, the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF). During this visit the DNRF representatives will have a ½ hour meeting with internal and external graduate students.
Participation in the retreat as well as the meeting with the DNRF is free of charge and includes travel as well as local expenses (accommodation and all meals will be provided). Please send an e-mail to qgm@au.dk if you wish to participate including a title/abstract for the retreat and your preliminary itinerary.

Further travel information
The flight company Alsie Express is flying directly to Sønderborg (SGD) from Copenhagen (CPH) - (45 min). This is the easiest way to get to Sønderborg (12 km from Sandbjerg Estate). We believe that you should book this flight as soon as possible as it is a domestic flight route with few seats. The alternative Airports (Billund (BLL) and Aarhus (AAR)) both have a transportation time to Sandbjerg of approx. 3 hours.
