IT supplier Fluido will provide a new study administration system to AAU and six other universities that joined forces on finding a new IT solution. This is a certainty after the Parliament’s Finance Committee recently approved the choice of supplier following a unanimous recommendation from the universities.

Today, Danish universities use almost 30-year-old, self-developed systems to support their study administration work. The universities in the programme group will replace these systems with an up-to-date system.
 
After an extensive tender process involving students and staff in the study administration, the choice went to Fluido. Throughout the tender process, Fluido scored highest in solution quality and is an experienced supplier in implementing study administration systems in Northern Europe, including at universities in Norway and Finland.
 
- This is an ambitious project that will give our students a better overview of their education. The project also gives us the opportunity to create better coherence in study administration processes and to work in a more data-driven manner than we can today. At the same time, it is an organizational project that will involve the entire study administration at AAU and our academic environments, says University Director Søren Lind Christiansen.

Students at the centre

The contract with Fluido brings the universities one step closer to the shared ambition of putting student needs at the centre of the administration process. The programme group of the seven universities will ensure greater use of self-service solutions, common overall processes across the universities and automation of work procedures. In concrete terms, this means that the programme group, in conjunction with Fluido, will create a standard system based on the universities' collective needs and common business processes.
 
The new study administration system is expected to be implemented at all seven universities in 2028.
