Anders Lund’s featured comment \u2018Let the IT staff do their jobs \u2014 actually helping the UCPH users<\/em>\u2019<\/a> is spot on.<\/p>\n

UCPH IT \u2014 which in Danish has the perfect acronym ‘KUIT’ or QUIT \u2014\u00a0is a hopelessly heavy organisation that only thinks of itself, of the ‘system’. It might have been justified at a sausage factory that only had one goal in life. But at a university that takes pride in doing groundbreaking research, where new ideas and approaches constantly need to be tested, you cannot make do with a ‘system’.<\/p>\n

Has anyone considered why the Niels Bohr Institute despite a good deal of resistance continues to maintain its own IT service, and in accordance with the model for self-directing that Anders Lund advocates?<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking research needs flexible support<\/h3>\n

KUIT should definitely consider imitating this model if they want to win the researchers’ respect. The fact is that Niels Bohr Institute would never be able to maintain and develop its global position in physics if we did not have our own responsive and flexible IT support, following the \u2018Yes We Can\u2019 principle.<\/p>\n

OPINION ON THE UNIVERSITY POST<\/p>\n

This is a featured comment\/opinion piece. It expresses the author\u2019s own opinion.<\/p>\n

We encourage everyone to read the whole comment before commenting on social media, so that we only get constructive contributions.<\/p>\n

Disagreement is good, but remember to uphold a civil and respectful tone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I feel sorry for all the departments that do not have the kind of in-house expertise to always focus on solving researchers’ many problems quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n

KUIT needs to completely reorganise in accordance with Anders Lund’s ideas if this university’s management really believes in supporting research. I am impressed with how you, Anders, persevered through your many years at UCPH. I wish you a good and well-deserved retirement.<\/p>\n

Bjarne Andresen was for many years chairman of the Niels Bohr Institute’s IT Committee.

It might have been justified at a sausage factory that only had one goal in life. But at a university that takes pride in doing groundbreaking research, where new ideas and approaches constantly need to be tested, you cannot make do with a ‘system’.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone considered why the Niels Bohr Institute despite a good deal of resistance continues to maintain its own IT service, and in accordance with the model for self-directing that Anders Lund advocates?<\/p>\n<h3>Groundbreaking research needs flexible support<\/h3>\n<p>KUIT should definitely consider imitating this model if they want to win the researchers’ respect. The fact is that Niels Bohr Institute would never be able to maintain and develop its global position in physics if we did not have our own responsive and flexible IT support, following the \u2018Yes We Can\u2019 principle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">OPINION ON THE UNIVERSITY POST<\/p>\n<p>This is a featured comment\/opinion piece.
