• Remember to write the agr number in the subject field.
• Please do not write to specific members of staff

Applications for funding, contracts, budgets and recommendations are often to be signed by the head of department. The head of department is often away at meetings, and it can take time to get the signature in place.

Therefore, send your documents for signature well in advance, and preferably a week before you need to send them on. The secretariat must have time to review the documents before signing.

If the material involves finances

If it is stated in your material that the department will pay for salaries, premises, etc., you must first obtain written acceptance from the head of department Jørgen Frøkiær via jf@clin.au.dk. Send relevant documents, e.g. application and budget, to the head of department, write "finance - request for acceptance" in the subject field, and briefly describe in the email what you expect the department to pay / deliver.

• No written acceptance on finances = no signature.

When you have received acceptance from the head of department, send what needs to be signed AND a copy of the head of department's written acceptance to signatur@clin.au.dk. 

If the material does not involve finances

Selected employees in the department secretariat may sign documents that do NOT contain promises that the department will provide finances. Send to signatur@clin.au.dk

Examples: Letter of support, Host statement, Hosting letter
