To provide you and your students with an overview of social, student political, and academic activities and events taking place at your campus.

The event solution aims to support a positive study environment and foster stronger communities on VIA's campuses. 

Your responsibility is to consistently create events on MyVIA on behalf of the association/council/committee you represent. Additionally, you should update already created events if any changes occur.  

Events should be created with specified details such as time, place, description, target group, organizer, event type, image etc.

If your event necessitates registration and possibly involves personal payments you must create your event using Safeticket. MyVIA guides you to Safeticket when creating events with registration and payment.  

VIA has partnered with Safeticket for handling registrations and payments.

Please note that signing up for events requires a VIA email. External registrations must be organized elsewhere.

There is room for both social and professional events in the event calendar.

However, the event calendar is only for events organised by VIA and not for events organised by external organisations. If you still have an external event that you would like to have listed on MitVIA or MyVIA, you can always create it on the bulletin board.

The answer is no. Events must only be created on MyVIA. Creating events on Facebook or any other event system is not allowed. To ensure that the event overview on MyVIA accurately reflects campus activities it is crucial that all activities and events are created exclusively on MyVIA. 

That's completely understandable - especially if you haven't tried it before. However, we believe in you! We are working to make it easy to create arrangements and events. You'll also have access to a step-by-step guide for learning.

If the instructions are not sufficient, assistance is available from your campus partner and the MyVIA support team. 

1. Log on to MyVIA

2. Go to 'events' in the upper right corner

Enter information about your event 

1. Give your event a short and precise title.

2. Upload a good quality image for your event. The format of the image must be 1920x720 px. - See how to crop images to the format requirements.
   • Which images can I use? In general, all images (including those on Google) are covered by copyright law. It is punishable by law to use other people's images without permission - even if the images are freely available on Google, a website or on social media. It is therefore better to find an image on one of the platforms that offer royalty-free images such as: pixabay, freeimages, unsplash, pexels or similar.

3. Specify where your event will be held - e.g., "Ceres Café at Campus Aarhus C" 

4. Select the date and start time. When and at what time does the event take place?

5. Choose the organiser of the event. If you can't find a relevant organiser you should contact your local campus partner.
