Come influence from the EU! SDU is in the middle of nowhere but (otherwise?) awesome.

Extremely high quality of life in Denmark, great for families! Tho fiendishly hard language despite a relatively strong relationship to English. It's like the French of Scandinavian – a lot doesn't get pronounced.

What: excellent conditions, start-up and transition packages, interdisciplinary and supportive environment, wonderful colleagues.
