The government's new relocation agreement means that the Faculty of Technical Sciences will establish a new, integrated education and research campus in Foulum near Viborg with up to 800-900 students. The vision is that Aarhus University's new campus in the future will be the centre for study programmes within green transition, veterinary medicine and primary food production in the western part of the country.

Aarhus University, Department of Animal Science, is one of the participants in a new big H2020 project linking extensive husbandry production to the production of quality meat from pigs and poultry.

Two new organic projects at AU Foulum focus on sustainable slaughter pig production with 100% locally produced feed as well as meat quality and shelf life.
