The results of the Danish Student Survey are here!
In autumn 2023, all ITU students were invited to participate in a national survey about the study and learning environment.

Students, Heads of Study Programmes, and administrative staff kickstarted the discussions of data, issues, and relevant initiatives at a workshop 9 April.

In the coming months, discussions continue in Board of Studies and with other internal stakeholders.

Proposal for new scientific department structure
Last week on 16 April, Rector Per Bruun Brockhoff presented his proposal for restructuring the scientific departments at ITU. The proposal – if finally decided after the hearing process and then passed by the Board of Directors – will gather the three current departments in one department and organise the researchers and teachers at ITU into a number of smaller sections.

The proposal for an organisational change will have no impact on ITU’s educational programmes and will not affect your studies now or in the future.

If you are curious and want to learn more, read this interview with the rector about the proposed change.

CCIT Seminar: On the Carbon Footprint of Deep Learning
Join the CCIT for our next Seminar where Raghavendra Selvan, Raghavendra Selvan, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, UCPH, will give a guest lecture on the sustainability of Deep Learning.

Deep Learning (DL) has transformed several application domains, including computer vision and natural language processing, with new and exciting possibilities in AI.

These advancements have been enabled and accelerated by large scale computations on massive data which also translate into increased energy and carbon costs.

In this work, we will take a look at the carbon footprint of DL across domains, present techniques to quantify it and practices that could improve the environmental sustainability of AI. 

When and where: Tuesday 30 April at 11:00-12:00 in room 3A18 and online.
