A student job in Denmark during your studies can kickstart your career and provide you with much better opportunities to enter the Danish job market successfully once you've completed your education. It teaches you things that books alone cannot and helps you build your network. The impact of part-time jobs is also evident in the statistics: One year after graduation, 20% more people are employed if they've had a part-time job compared to those who haven't. Two years after graduation, those who've had a part-time job earn approximately 2000 DKK more per month than those who haven't. But what constitutes a job relevant to your studies, and how do you find one? In this Career Café, you will receive an introduction to: - A few key points on the Danish Labour Market - How to use LinkedIn to identify the types of part-time jobs (job titles and workplaces) that are relevant to you. - SDU's job bank, including setting up a job alert. - How to use Infomedia for researching potential workplaces, enabling you to write a strong application and perform well in job interviews.

On April 12, 1945, a stunned world learned that Franklin D. Roosevelt, the leader who had brought the United States through the two great crises of the twentieth century, was dead. Responding to this shocking development, the Danish physicist, Niels Bohr, expressed the view that it seemed impossible to believe that “the great man, upon whom more than anyone else, the hopes of humanity were centered” was gone. What Bohr and the rest of the public did not realize, of course, was that by the spring of 1945 Franklin Roosevelt was a dying man. What’s more, his sudden disappearance from the world stage at this critical moment meant that leader who had orchestrated the alliance that would go on to defeat the forces of fascism and set the stage for the successful creation of the United Nations would not be there to witness these historic developments. Nor would he be present when his government faced one of the most daunting decisions made in human history—the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Roosevelt’s absence at the dawn of the nuclear age has raised several questions about what might have happened had he lived long enough to witness the successful development of the atomic bomb. Would Roosevelt—whose knowledge of and involvement in the making of the atomic bomb was far more extensive than President Truman’s—have followed the same course of action? Or might FDR have pursued an alternative strategy for ending the war, through negotiation or a demonstration of the atomic bomb’s awesome power. Equally significant, might he have ultimately taken Bohr’s advice and shared the atomic secret with the Russians in such a way as to gain their confidence and perhaps avoid the onset of the nuclear arms race that stood at the heart of the Cold War? As discussed in this presentation, a close examination of FDR’s last 100 days in office offers some interesting clues as to what Roosevelt might have done had he lived long enough to bring the most destructive war in history to an end. About David B. Woolner: David B. Woolner is Professor of History and Kovler Foundation Fellow of Roosevelt Studies at Marist College; Senior Fellow and Resident Historian of the Roosevelt Institute; and Senior Fellow of the Center for Civic Engagement at Bard College. He is the author of The Last 100 Days: FDR at War and at Peace (Basic Books, 2017), is editor/co-editor of five books, and served as historical advisor to the Ken Burns films The Roosevelts: An Intimate History and The US and the Holocaust and for numerous special exhibitions at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum. Dr. Woolner is the recipient of the Fulbright Denmark Distinguished Scholar Award in American Studies at the University of Southern Denmark (2023-2024) and was recently named a Fulbright Specialist for the years 2021-2025 by the US Department of State’s Bureau for Educational and Cultural Affairs. From 2000-2010, Dr. Woolner served as the Roosevelt Institute’s Executive Director, overseeing a significant expansion of the organization’s budget, programmatic dimension and staff. He earned his Ph. D. and M.A. in history from McGill University and a B.A. summa cum laude in English Literature and History from the University of Minnesota.

NORDTEK 2024 conference and meetings will be taking place in Turku/Åbo, the oldest city in Finland. The conference is hosted jointly by the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University.The theme of the conference is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENGINEERING. NORDTEK is a network of the Technical Universities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries. The members represent 30 universities, more than 180 000 students, teachers, and researchers. The mission of the NORDTEK network is to strengthen the engineering sciences in the Nordic and Baltic region and to contribute to solve concrete needs for society by collaboration within engineering education, research, entrepreneurship, and innovation. For the students the network provides excellent opportunities for e.g. mobility and international collaboration. One of the key activities of the network is also the annual NORDTEK Conference, which is targeted to students and staff alike. This years’ Conference will be organised in Turku Finland, on 11-13 of June 2024 with the very topical theme of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering. Students from all NORDTEK member universities are welcome to participate in the Conference. If you are interested in participating from your university, please contact your local NORDTEK mobility coordinator for more information on this possibility. More information on the NORDTEK 2024 Conference: nordtek2024.fi  A pre-conference online Q&A session for students will be held on June 3rd at 10-12.In this Q&A Session you will hear about the NORDTEK and NORDTEK Student activities and have the opportunity to ask questions.

While the menopause is commonly understood as a ‘hormone deficiency’, numerous studies have shown that the menopause is not solely a biological phenomenon, but is influenced by environmental, social, and cultural factors. Given the variation in menopause experience and its complexity, how to best support women through this transition is a considerable societal challenge. It is our belief that this question can only be tackled through an interdisciplinary approach. The workshop ‘Women in Transition’ seeks to build the groundwork for such interdisciplinary collaboration, drawing insights from the fields of medicine, sociology, communication and literature. The questions driving the workshop is about the role of biological, sociological and cultural factors in the menopausal experience, and how this insight can be used to facilitate the work of medical researchers and practitioners. The workshop will be structured ‘from the macro to the micro’: from large quantitative population studies, through quantitative/qualitative data gathered in organisations, to individual experiences expressed in literary works. Through this structure, the workshop will focus on the synergies between different disciplinary approaches, identifying the ways in which medical, sociological and humanistic approaches can help overcome some of the challenges of the menopause and shed some light on its complexity. 13.00 – 13.45 Welcome A short cultural history of the menopause Consultant Ella Fegitz, PhD Menopause – an unusual aging phenomenon Kaare Christensen, MD, PhD, Professor, Danish Aging Research Center, SDU Introduction to the molecular and cellular biology of Estrogen action on target organs Moustapha Kassem, MD, PhD, Professor, Department of Endocrinology, OUH 13.45 - 14.00 Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy for health maintenance during aging: Is it possible? Laura K.
