Welcome to Copenhagen……. Welcome to Copenhagen YPO site inspection, April 2012 Copenhagen, one of the largest cities in northern Europe

Copenhagen is one of the largest cities in northern Europe and also one of Europe's busiest hubs. The city's location has throughout centuries in an almost natural way created commercial routes to far and near.

Copenhagen is the seat of the National Parliament - the Royal Residence and Supreme High Court. The city was founded in the years 1160-67 by Bishop Absalon and is today a part of the Danish Cultural Heritage.

NUSOD SITE

When the College of Advanced Technology was founded in 1829, Denmark had its first MSc programme in Engineering at a high academic level. The College changed its name to Danish Technical College in 1933 and finally became the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in 1994.

DTU has always had a strong theoretical grounding. H.C. Ørsted, the scientist who discovered electromagnetism, founded the College in the image of École Polytechnique in France. The DTU is only 15 minutes north of the city centre of Copenhagen. You can get to DTU in Kgs. Lyngby by car or by public transportation. Several busses stop almost at the door.
