University of Copenhagen
Independent of management
Academic life
Fluctuating hormone levels throughout the menstrual cycle affect the effectiveness of ADHD medication in women. Research in this area is limited, but a group of students from the University of Copenhagen aims to change that.
Culture
Artificial intelligence makes it possible to keep talking to someone long after their death. The technology is already widespread in some parts of the world, and University of Copenhagen professor Anders Søgaard believes it could become common practice in Denmark too. But what does it mean for grief when we breathe digital life into the dead?
Campus
The university will continue to have six faculties, but its academic disciplines will be organised differently. According to the Rector, the new structure should better »reflect reality«. Staff have responded to the plans with reservations and reform fatigue.
Education
The best moments of Kristian Lauta’s student years came when lecturers ventured beyond the curriculum. He wants to pass that experience on as UCPH’s Prorector for Education, a role he will now hold until 2030. At the same time, he must navigate artificial intelligence, student protests and a master’s degree reform he remains critical of.
