Welcome to the IT University of Copenhagen
ITU receives two Danish Data Science Academy Fellowships
Each year, the DDSA awards a total of 10 PhDs, and 6 postdocs. This year, ITU has secured two – Nils Grünefeld who will undertake a PhD in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, and Ola Rønning will begin a postdoc project in Probabilistic Programming.
ITU researcher wants to improve statistics models
Professor Andrzej Wasowski has been granted DKK 6.1 million from the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The grant is given for a project that is looking into how probabilistic models can become more reliable.
ITU researcher receives grant for project on verification of reflective programs
Assistant Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen, Eduard Kamburjan, has received a Sapere Aude grant of almost DKK 6.2 million from Independent Research Fund Denmark. The grant will fund a project that will investigate how to verify reflective programs.
Morten Hjelholt appointed head of research
Professor Morten Hjelholt has served as interim head of research since January and is highlighted for his “commitment, conviction, and a management philosophy”. Starting 1 August, he will take on the position permanently.
ITU researchers want to bring classical music to you
Is it possible to use technology to bring arts and music closer to people? This is one of the purposes of the research project XTREME, which is investigating how mixed reality can be used to bring music and art experiences to audiences that otherwise have some barriers to experience them.
Jonas Juul has been accepted into the Young Academy
The Young Academy has revealed which talented young researchers have been admitted this year. Among them is Assistant Professor Jonas Juul from the It University of Copenhagen.

On 10 June 2025 at 14:30, Professor Veronika Cheplygina will present her inaugural lecture in Auditorium 0 at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lecture is entitled: “Not real research”.
"The aim is our trust"
As part of the Danish Science Festival, the IT University and the newspaper Dagbladet Information gathered a number of experts to discuss cyber warfare in Denmark and how prepared we are for it. The Minister of Resilience and Preparedness, Thorsten Schack Pedersen, also participated in the talk.
Professor portrait: Nutan Limaye is pushing the boundaries of complexity theory
On 22 May 2025 at 14:30, Professor Nutan Limaye from the section Theoretical Computer Science will present her inaugural lecture in Auditorium 0 at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lecture is entitled “My reflections on the last two decades and Complexity Theory”.
Professor portrait Anna Vallgårda challenges the design of care technology
On 9 May 2025 at 14:30, Professor Anna Vallgårda will give her inaugural lecture in Auditorium 0 at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lecture is entitled: ”Radical Redesign of Care Technologies”.
Is Denmark prepared for cyberwarfare?
A group of researchers from the IT University of Copenhagen is investigating what Denmark can learn from Ukraine in terms of preparing for cyberwarfare. Cyberwarfare does not just affect governments and companies, but also civilians, and the researchers ask what should be done if we come under attack.
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.
Professor portrait: Vasilis Galis found his way in research on the Athens metro
On 28 March 2025 at 14:30, Professor Vasilis Galis from the section Technologies in Practice will present his inaugural lecture in Auditorium 0 at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lecture is entitled “Research against dead time”.
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.
