Department of Education (DPU), Aarhus University

"The Department of Education (DPU) at Aarhus University is Denmark's largest research, education and communication environment in the areas of pedagogics, learning and skills development. 

It was established in 2001 as a department at the Faculty of Arts at Aarhus University. It originates from the Danish School of Education (DPU), which was originally established as the Danish University of Education on 1 July 2000 by the merger of the Royal Danish School of Educational Studies, the Danish National Institute for Educational Research, the Danish School of Advanced Pedagogy and the Danish National Centre for Technology-Supported Learning. On 1 June 2007 the DPU merged with the University of Aarhus and changed status from independent university to a university school at the University of Aarhus

The Department of Education (DPU) combines basic research, application-oriented research and strategic research into how to create the best conditions for education, learning and skill development – throughout life. Its research is organised in interdisciplinary research programmes and units."
