Signatures by HoD

We have established a common procedure for handling documents that require the Head of Department’s signature. The procedure covers research grant agreements, cooperation agreements, grant applications, and student agreements etc. 

The aim is to streamline the process and reduce vulnerability in case handling.

From now on, all documents that need the HoD’s signature should be sent to signatures@mgmt.au.dk. Pernille Mønster Leth will coordinate the signature process via this mailbox and return the signed documents to you.

You can find more information and links to relevant guidelines on:

Documents related to student agreements - Confidential theses and projects

If a company makes a requirement for a company-specific confidentiality agreement in connection to theses and projects, please make sure to follow this procedure.

When the agreement has been approved by the TTO, the supervisor must send it to the departmental programme coordinator (or, if AU surrender rights, the department head – signatures@mgmt.au.dk) for signing.

When the agreement is fully signed, the relevant Director of Studies/Department Head sends an electronic copy of the fully signed agreement to the student via their AU email. They add tto@au.dk (Technology Transfer Office, ‘TTO’) cc on the email to the student for filing and storing (with reference to any file number).

  • Pernille Mønster Leth will return the documents to you via email after signature.
