SDU is a member of the organization IDCN Jutland/Funen (International Dual Career Network) in Denmark. It is a network that consists of many of the major companies/Universities in Denmark, whose main focus is to get spouses/partners of international employees a job career in Denmark. They all have expats employed, and therefore have an international business environment. It is possible for SDU spouses/partners to become a part of the network, and in that way get an exclusive opening to the companies in Denmark that very often hires expats.
If you are interested in joining the network and participate in the different workshops please write to Annika Jarl at: jarl@sdu.dk.
