Each region is led by a Regional Council, consisting of 41 politicians elected every four years.

Aarhus is a dynamic city on the Jutland peninsula in Denmark. From here, beach, harbour and forest are all within reach of a 15-minute bike ride. 315.000 people live in Aarhus and 1,2 million people live in the greater Aarhus Area.
Think of Aarhus as a major city crammed into a mega village. Being a university city, Aarhus is the youngest in Denmark measured by average age, but historically one of the oldest. Thus, the atmosphere is a vibrant mix of youthful energy and blasts from the past.
In Aarhus, you will find knowledge in clusters of highly specialized businesses, research and educational facilities driven by a desire to collaborate and innovate.
Renewable energy, food, health and productivity are all areas in which Aarhus excels, and with top 100 university right smack in the middle of things, highly qualified employees and the most up-to-date research are literally just around the corner.
Right now, building projects worth more than 4 billion Euros is underway, creating among other things Northern Europe's biggest hospital and an all-new part of town on the waterfront with room for 7000 new Aarhusians.
