It is recommended not to plan events for larger groups of people. Bars, restaurants, cafes etc. are open, paying respect to the applicable rules on social distancing and other hygiene precautions, and it is of course possible to socialize in smaller groups. We are very sorry about this whole situation that prevents us from delivering the full programme as planned. We sincerely hope that many students will come back next year for the full experience of Denmark and SDU in the summer.
Please see SDU's Corona update site for more details.
The below information and programme from 2019 will give you an idea of what we usually do.
