The Innovation Centre Denmark offers the link to "official Denmark" as a part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark where they focus on innovation and partnership between Chinese and Danish institutions.

The Alumni Association is for individuals of all ages who have, for a minimum of one semester, studied at a Danish university or academic institution. The Alumni Association is exclusively reserved for Chinese nationals. The Alumni Association membership is open for all who are eligible according to the statue, and is put into effect by paying the membership fee.
