The National Environmental Research Institute has been closed. New national centre now in operation
The National Environmental Research Institute (NERI), Aarhus University, has been closed, and the research-based consultancy services to authorities on nature, environment and energy are now – as per 1 July 2011 – provided by the National Centre for Environment and Energy (NERI), Aarhus University.
The National Centre for Environment and Energy (NERI) is the portal for authorities, businesses, interest organisations and the public to the strong expertise of Aarhus University within nature, environment and energy.
Kurt Nielsen, vice-dean for knowledge exchange at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Aarhus University, is director of the National Centre for Environment and Energy (NERI).
The research departments of the closed National Environmental Research Institute are now affiliated to the Department of Bioscience and the Department of Environmental Science.
In the future, the National Centre for Environment and Energy (NERI) can in its research-based consulting and knowledge exchange benefit from the university’s comprehensive research expertise.
The National Centre for Environment and Energy maintains NERI as an integrated part of its name.
The Centre’s website is currently under construction at the address www.dmu.au.dk. For a transitional period the National Environmental Research Institute’s former website will be available via the Centre’s homepage.
Continuation of information
Using existing subscription lists, the National Centre for Environment and Energy (NERI) will continue to inform the media and other interested parties of new research reports and other current research topics under study at Aarhus University within the fields of nature, environment and energy.
