- Europe

Overview

With over 40,000 students and more than 9,000 employees, the University of Copenhagen is the largest institution of research and education in Denmark. The purpose of the University – to quote the University Statute – is to ’conduct research and provide further education to the highest academic level’.

Approximately one hundred different institutes, departments, laboratories, centres, museums, etc., form the nucleus of the University, where professors, lecturers and other academic staff, as well as most of the technical and administrative personnel, carry out their daily work, and where teaching takes place.

These activities take place in various environments ranging from the plant world of the Botanical Gardens, through high-technology laboratories and auditoriums, to the historic buildings and lecture rooms of Frue Plads and other locations.

2016 - Strategy for the University of Copenhagen

The purpose of 2016 is to define the framework and the direction for the University’s continuing development. In their daily studies, work and commitment, students and employees should be able to apply their own initiatives and ideas and as such contribute to meeting the objectives of the strategy.

Based on the University’s scientific foundation and the continuing work to strengthen excellent research, the strategy describes three selected focus areas.
1. Improving education
2. Strengthening external collaboration worldwide 
3. Strengthening internal collaboration and a shared identity
