Overview
On this page, I have collected various Latex-related templates which may be useful to you. The site contains two beamer templates, a report template and will soon contain a poster template as well. These are primarily intended for use by other people studying or working at Aalborg University (AAU), but everyone is encouraged to use and modify my templates.

An Unofficial AAU Beamer Theme
A lot of the people at AAU use the beamer class to make their presentations which they give at exams, lectures and conferences. These people often use one of the many standard beamer themes for their presentations. There is nothing wrong with these themes, and they serve their purpose. However, they are not very unique and do not promote Aalborg University very well.
In order to avoid this, I have therefore created an unofficial AAU beamer theme. The theme, which I have named aausidebar, is simple, clean and unique. You can download it as a zip-archive below. The archive comprises the theme files as well as aausidebartheme.pdf and aausidebartheme.tex. The last two files contain a simple user manual and the source code of the manual, respectively. The user manual contains all the details for installing and using the theme.
If you like the aausidebar theme, but are not affiliated with Aalborg University, I recommend that you have a look at the Aalborg theme instead.

The Aalborg Beamer Theme
The Aalborg beamer theme is created in an attempt to make a neutral theme which may also be used by people not affiliated with Aalborg University (AAU). In August 2010, I created the aausidebar theme and published it here so that the researchers and students of Aalborg University could use it for their presentations. To my surprise, the aausidebar theme has also been used by people outside of AAU despite the heavy AAU branding.
The Aalborg theme takes many of the design ideas from the aausidebar theme, but it can easily be de-branded by changing the logo and the colors. Moreover, the theme is also more flexible as it allows the sidebar to be on the right or the left side of the slide. You can download the theme as a zip-archive below. The archive comprises the theme files as well as aalborgtheme.pdf and aalborgtheme.tex. The last two files contain a simple user manual and the source code of the manual, respectively. The user manual contains all the details for installing and using the theme.

An Unofficial AAU Report Template
Many students use LaTeX for typesetting their reports. Although LaTeX is very powerful and able to create beautiful documents, the learning curve for LaTeX novices may be quite steep. Especially the management of the layout may be hard.
This report template is an attempt to give these LaTeX novices a gentle start. The template takes care of loading the most common packages in the preamble, creating a front page, an English and a Danish AAU title page, a preface with signatures, and a simple folder structure for organising the tex-files. You can download the template below.
| v. 0.2.0 | 2012-04-20 | Added a few new features - see the changelog |
| v. 0.1.1 | 2011-12-04 | Removed two bugs - see the changelog |
| v. 0.1.0 | 2010-09-20 | The first version of the template - no changelog |
An Unofficial AAU Poster Theme
When researchers and students from Aalborg University (AAU) attend conferences around the world, they often use a poster for presenting their newest research results. To the best of my knowledge no AAU-branded poster theme is available to these researchers and students so they have to create their own or modify an existing theme.
In order to avoid this, I have therefore created an unofficial AAU poster theme. The theme, which I have named aauposter, is simple, clean and unique. It is a particular configuration of the baposter class, and you have to download the baposter.cls file to use the AAU poster theme. You can download the AAU poster theme as a zip-archive below. The archive comprises aauposter.pdf and aauposter.tex. The two files contain a simple user manual and the source code of the manual, respectively. The user manual contains all the details for installing and using the theme.
| v. 0.1.0 | 2012-03-14 | The first version of the theme - no changelog |
