FOMO in Berlin, stress in Parisian supermarkets and good-looking Danes - there are many reasons to return to Copenhagen after an exchange program is finished. Uniavisen spoke with three young people who did just that.
As a kid, he never learned the multiplication tables. But he caught on to quantum mechanics in fourth grade, and it took him three months to finish his Danish secondary school. Now Max Fischer-Rasmussen is the youngest student at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) – and for the first time surrounded by people who also see the beauty of mathematics.
We cannot plan our work, says an associate professor and staff representative for 250 employees at the Niels Bohr Institute. He predicts that the delays on the University of Copenhagen's coming laboratories will cost research funding grants. Union calls for a clarification of the construction process.
Thousands of students turned out yesterday across Denmark, to protest the education cuts proposed by the VLAK-government.
The delayed Niels Bohr Building at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) has been constructed with major plumbing and ventilation system errors that will cost hundreds of millions of kroner. Employees at the construction site say they complained about the contractor at least one year before the government's agency responded to the problems.

Rector Henrik Wegener visited Søndre Campus to hear about the state of things. While some had good news, others sounded the alarm.
