Marselisborg University (Denmark)

What Marselisborg University (Denmark) does

MarselisborgCentret is a Danish public rehabilitation center headquartered at Evald Krogs Gade 1-17 in Aarhus C, established through a formal collaboration between Aarhus Municipality (Aarhus Kommune) and Region Midtjylland. It develops, researches, and disseminates rehabilitation knowledge in an interdisciplinary manner, targeting persons experiencing or at risk of limitations in physical, psychological, cognitive, and/or social functioning. The center is governed by a joint board with representatives from both Region Midtjylland and Aarhus Municipality, reflecting its public-sector ownership structure under CVR NR 30 88 86 18.

The center's core offerings span four lines. First, two warm water pools maintained at 34 degrees Celsius serve approximately 1,500 persons weekly for hydrotherapy, water aerobics for disabled users, and rehabilitation exercise, rented to associations, institutions, organizations, and physiotherapists. Second, conference and meeting facilities — including Conference Room A+B (140 m², 50–110 persons), three smaller meeting rooms, and a 140-person auditorium — are rented on a pay-as-you-go basis at 400 kr per person for full-day events including catering. Third, customized themed days, presentations, and teaching on rehabilitation topics are offered to professional clients. Fourth, the center publishes rehabilitation literature through Rehabiliteringsforum Danmark, including the White Book on Rehabilitation, and operates the national rehabilitation conference series. Research activities are conducted through DEFACTUM and Aarhus University's Institute of Public Health, applying interdisciplinary expertise from health science, social science, health economics, anthropology, medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy.

The business model combines stable public funding from Region Midtjylland and Aarhus Kommune with facility rental income and knowledge-dissemination services. The Evald Krogs Gade campus co-locates 15+ specialized partner organizations including Hjerneskadecentret, Neurocentret, Institut for Kommunikation og Handicap (IKH), Audiologisk Lokalklinik Aarhus, Børneterapien, Center for ADHD+, Folkesundhed Aarhus, Scleroseforeningen, Muskelsvindfonden, and PolioForeningen, creating an integrated rehabilitation ecosystem. Staff headcount is small — approximately 15-20 operational employees plus a research team — and the center pursues no proprietary technology products, positioning itself as a knowledge-bridging institution between research (via DEFACTUM and Aarhus University), municipal practice, and end-user rehabilitation services.
