Welcome to the IT University of Copenhagen
Researchers aim to teach math students critical thinking with data science
In a new research project at the IT University of Copenhagen and the University of Copenhagen, a group of researchers will investigate how data science can become part of high school mathematics education to provide students with a better foundation for critical thinking and the ability to illuminate and nuance claims they encounter in their daily lives.
ITU researcher secures grant to improve safety of AI systems
At Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Japan, Associate Professor Alessandro Bruni from ITU is currently conducting research on the mathematical foundation for developing verifiably correct machine learning frameworks. The project is supported by the Carlsberg Foundation.

ITU researcher investigates elections in Greenland
On 11 March 2025, the election for Inatsisartut (Greenland's parliament) will take place. For several years, researchers from ITU, led by Professor Carsten Schürmann and Center for Information Security and Trust, have been investigating election and the possibility of internet elections in Greenland, and the election today is no exception.
IRFD funded ITU project to develop theoretical foundation for probabilistic session types
The increasing technological complexity makes probabilistic understanding and management of critical computing systems a necessity. A new research project, led by Associate Professor Marco Carbone, aims to develop the foundation for probabilistic session types to that end.
Urban highways are barriers to social connections
Researchers from IT University of Copenhagen have proved that urban highways limit social connections in the 50 largest cities in the US. It is the first ever quantitative evaluation of the barrier effect of urban highways in reducing social connections across neighborhoods.
New research to find efficient strategies for prevention of epidemics
Assistant Professor at ITU, Jonas Juul, receives a Novo Nordisk Foundation Data Science Investigator grant of DKK 6.5 million for a project that aims to improve statistical methods for predicting outbreaks of infections.
Within Limits – an exhibition on computation and constraint
On 7 March, join Artist Jacob Remin, Associate Professor James Maguire and Postdoc Frauke Mennes from the Center for Climate IT at ITU for the launch of Within Limits – an art installation that questions and reimagines the scalar logics inherent in computational worlds.
ITU students and alumni win awards at Copenhagen Gaming Week
ITU was represented with games developed by both students and alumni from the university at Copenhagen Gaming Week and ‘Spilprisen’ that took place last week. Students from the MSc Games won the award for ’Best Student Game’, while alumni from the same study programme won for ‘Best Debut’.
New research project to find a more inclusive way to develop algorithms
Associate Professor Veronika Cheplygina has received a Novo Nordisk Data Science Investigator Grant of almost DKK 11 million. The grant will fund research on how more inclusive teaching and research environments may lead to better algorithms for medical imaging.
Thesis on digital divide in prisons wins award
Three students from ITU have won the Danish Institute for Human Rights' Thesis Award for their thesis "The Digital Divide in Prisons". The thesis examines how the digital divide between inmates in Danish prisons and the surrounding society can be bridged.
New ITU research analyses attacks on Large Language Models
What are the intentions and profile of someone trying to use LLMs for malicious purposes? And how do they do it? In a new study, researchers from ITU define so-called “red teaming” of LLMs to enable better security in the future.
Jakob Grue Simonsen named new prorector at IT University in Copenhagen
Jakob Grue Simonsen, who comes from a position as head of department at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, will focus on well-being and collaboration when he takes over as prorector at ITU on 1 January 2025.
IT University of Copenhagen reveals two new members of management
At IT University of Copenhagen, future head of education, Luís Cruz-Filipe (L), and future head of research, Morten Hjelholt (R), will become part of the university management when both take up their positions on 1 February and 1 January 2025 respectively.
Video: Is artificial intelligence the key to human consciousness?
"Our future is going to look like science fiction." Associate professor at IT University of Copenhagen, Paolo Burelli, uses artificial intelligence to approach a better understanding of the human brain and consciousness.
ITU researcher awarded Villum Synergy grant for qualitative data project
Associate Professor at IT University of Copenhagen, Anna Rogers, and Associate Professor Hjalmar Carlsen at University of Copenhagen have received a Villum Synergy grant from Villum Fonden to develop a new tool for conducting large-scale, high-quality qualitative interviews.
How do we make technologies more efficient and less energy consuming?
In the age of resource awareness, ensuring the energy efficiency of digital technologies shaping our world is critical. Associate Professors Pınar Tözün and Zoi Kaoudi from IT University of Copenhagen tackle the issue from a hardware and a software perspective. Catch their session at this year’s Digital Tech Summit, 31 October.
New research project on the datafication of wellbeing in public schools
Associate professor at the IT University, Irina Papazu, has received a grant from Independent Research Fund Denmark to conduct research on the use of apps that measure pupil wellbeing in Danish public schools.
ITU researcher develops software to secure Large Language Models
As Large Language Models (LLMs) are deployed in thousands of applications, the need for scalable evaluation of how models respond to malicious attacks grows rapidly. ITU Associate Professor Leon Derczynski has developed the hitherto most comprehensive tool for the task.
ITU researcher secures Novo Nordisk grant to advance open data management
Associate Professor Martin Hentschel’s project, “Open Data Management for Scientific Innovation,” aims to improve data accessibility and interoperability.
