The idea that Denmark should have an institution devoted entirely to IT research and education was first aired in 1997.
 

Increasing digitization created a massive shortage of IT specialists, and many felt that something extraordinary needed to be done in order to educate more IT graduates. In 1998, the Ministers of Education and Research created a task force that set out to investigate what could be done. One of their recommendations was to set up an IT university (‘IT-højskole’) in Copenhagen.

Mission

The mission of the IT University of Copenhagen is to deliver internationally leading teaching and research which enable Denmark to become exceptionally good at creating value with IT. Teaching and research in information technology include all academic activities which involve computers.

Vision

We create and share knowledge that is profound and leads to ground-breaking information technology and services for the benefit of humanity.

Values

The IT University has 3 core values that serve as a guideline for the daily work at the university:

  • Direction-finding
  • Forthcoming
  • Accountable
