Wall
- Today we share a great work of innovative engeneering: World's tallest climbing wall can be found in Netherlands. Excalibur tower at the Bjoeks climbing center in the town of Groningen is 121 feet [37 meters] tall with an overhang of 36 feet [11 meters]. Ready to start?
- Recommendation of the day!
- Have you ever been to a flashmob? Well, this one happened in Liverpool Street station in London. Out of nowhere, music started playing inside the station and people began dancing one by one. Imagine 2 minutes with over 300 people dancing. One month later, Universal Music released a soundtrack called The Liverpool Street Station Dance, consisting of 8 tracks. T-Mobile users could download the album free of charge. The campaign is the work of Saatchi&Saatchi London. Dance! (source: http://www.nastaev.com/)
- We have to sadly face the fact that people read less and less books... So, one New York City architect took advantage of the space we have on the streets and slowly transformed old phone booths across Manhattan into pop-up libraries. Get your book and start your journey!
- We said news, well we bring news! Check the website for the whole VISU plan! :)
- To start off the week well, we bring you some announcements! First of all, the new deadline for VISU applications is the 25th of June! This gives you more time to do the administrative work and fill in the form. Second, we have some fresh pictures in our Flickr Album! Check out the new accommodation and its great advantages!
- As the weekend is coming to its end, we can enjoy what's left of it on chill notes. And as a matter of fact, the band is actually Danish. Hope you'll like it! :)
- The sun is shining today over Viborg, seems like the perfect time for riding your bike. How is your Sunday?
- We're sure you know lots about the vikings but how about the scandinavian Gods? Well, Danes like them so much that naming streets after them wasn't enough... they had to paint their houses as well. Not a bad idea actually.
- Did you know?
- Great things happen in Viborg this summer!
- Getting closer to the lunch break, here at VIA University College! Might as well have a little fun while at it!
- A corona of stars, Rolling over the deep blue sea, Together forever! It is Europe Day, everybody! How is it celebrated in your countries?
- Only nice words about VISU! Let's read some more reasons why you should apply!
- UNIVERSITATEA "ALEXANDRU IOAN CUZA" din IAŞI from Romania agrees with us when we say you have to give VISU a try! :)
- New week, new lessons at VIA University College! You all be sure to have an innovative Monday! :)
- You have to be creative in order to make a change in people's attitude! Come to VISU and let us in your limitless imagination!
- It's Saturday everybody! Why not get out of bed and do a little sport? You can do that outside or in the University's gym... Enjoy your week-end in a fun and healthy way! :)
- How can we make a change? Let's start it all this summer at VISU! :)
- Haven't we convinced you already?
- Be sure you have made the right decision!
- We strongly believe that creativity is something you will impress us with, therefore, get your best ideas and come to Viborg. VISU awaits you! Don't forget about the deadline of 15th of May. :)

What?
- Meet the future global challenges with innovative solutions
Viborg International Summer University is a two week course in Denmark conducted by Department for Mechanic and Production from Aalborg University, The Animation Workshop, Faculty of Health Science, Faculty of Education and Social Studies from VIA University College and DANIA - Danish Academy of Business and Technology.
VISU is dedicated to WORLDWIDE students interested in TEAMWORK in an INTERNATIONAL and MULTICULTURAL environment.
The program is meant to develop innovative skills and competences in working in CROSS-PROFESSIONAL teams, in order to meet the future global challenges: Health, Welfare and Sustainability. The course will develop your ability to work in cross-disciplinary teams through NETWORKING with students from Nursing, Social, Engineering, Business, Marketing and Animation studies. Through the course you will achieve knowledge and experience in using creative and innovative methods to develop concepts to solve future problems within the field of health care, welfare and sustainability. It can be a service, a process or a technical solution.
The educational process is based on a combination between practical, experience-based learning and theoretical input from our “communicators and facilitators”.
---------
---------
Viborg International Summer University provides students with front end knowledge of innovation from idea to realization through networking in cross-disciplinary teams with students from Nursing, Social, Engineering, Business and Animation Studies. The learning process is problem based and takes departure on sustainable healthcare and welfare, the three most critical global challenges in the future.
The first face is divided into 3 STEPS:
THE 1ST STEP in the process is to understand the requirements for working together in network or group and social assignments.
THE 2ND STEP is a discussion on the challenges of tomorrow, so we have a general understanding of the terms Health, Welfare and Sustainability.
THE 3RD STEP is introduction of an innovation model. The second face is the front end innovation process, where focus is the stages and gates from global needs, to idea, idea development, and design. The third face
is realization and concept development. The last step in this face is the presentation of the concept and the process reflection.---------
We are looking forward to meeting you all!

Why?
- Viborg ZooM
Just in case the idea of our Summer University did not convince you 100%, another good reason would be the beautiful city it will take place in. Viborg is now the capital city of the entire region of `Middle Jutland`, the home of Denmarks oldest history and it is still a well known place for all the things it has to offer. Either you are a nature person or not, you will surely like to start your day off with a morning run around the lakes here. After the run you can quietly enjoy a big and nice Danish ice-cream while feeding the lazy ducks and swans that live here. Be careful not to get bitten though!
On your way back to your accommodation you can admire the old and picturesque buildings of the city, go to the swimming pool or to the stadium for an exciting football or handball match. Nothing says Denmark better than the sports!
However, you should keep some energy for the night also! You can find in Viborg several clubs and pubs where you can dance, karaoke and meet new, interesting people! Basically you can find everything you need here so there really is no reason to say no to our great offer!
So, how do you VISUalize your summer?
