IT University of Copenhagen

For 25 years GAMES have been part of ITU's DNA. Come celebrate with us on 26/27 August! 🥂🥳

..So what have we learned after 25 years of games research and education? 🤔

Hanna Wirman, head of ITU's Games programme, and Pawel Grabarczyk, head of our Games Research Group, share their thoughts in the article below 👇

Probabilistic understanding and management of critical computing systems is a necessity due to increasing technological complexity.

A new research project, led by Associate Professor Marco Carbone, aims to develop the foundation for probabilistic session types to that end.

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.

Researchers from ITU 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 neighbourhoods.

Could more inclusive teaching and research environments lead to better algorithms for medical imaging?

With a Data Science Investigator Grant from Novo Nordisk Foundation, Associate Professor Veronika Cheplygina wants to find out.

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.

What can society learn from the COVID-19 pandemic that closed the world in 2020?

In a new project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, Assistant Professor Jonas Juul aims to improve statistical methods for predicting outbreaks of infections based on Denmark's unique data from its comprehensive testing during the pandemic.
