At the annual celebration, Aarhus University will also be awarding the HM Queen Margrethe II Travel Grant to four particularly talented students. The travel grant of DKK 25,000 was established in 2010 as a present to HM Queen Margrethe on the occasion of her 70th birthday. At Arts and Aarhus BSS, the grant is awarded to students of archaeology and political science – the two subjects studied by the future Queen of Denmark during her time as a student at Aarhus University in 1961-1962.
The recipients of the HM Queen Margrethe II Travel Grant 2019 are: Axel Hee Rømer (archaeology), Line Pedersen (food technology), Jon Hagen Herskind (sport science) and Jannik Fenger (political science).
