Finding the best alloys would take a lifetime. We use the so-called high-entropy alloys, which are random mixtures of many elements, as a starting point, and we have developed computer models based on machine learning.

But if we are to overcome the barriers, we need to cooperate,&#8221; says Prorector of UCPH Bente Merete Stallknecht.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up university networks is a key initiative in the Commission&#8217;s efforts to build a European\u00a0Education Area\u00a0by 2025. Prorector Bente Merete Stallknecht expects that by joining 4EU+, the University will have better opportunities to influence the EU&#8217;s future research and education policy and to attract funds from the EU research and education programmes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Students&#8217; top 10 workplaces<\/p>\n<h3>Commercial and administration<\/h3>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lego<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 McKinsey &amp; Company<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Deloitte<br \/>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A.P.

We use the so-called high-entropy alloys, which are random mixtures of many elements, as a starting point, and we have developed computer models based on machine learning.

But if we are to overcome the barriers, we need to cooperate,&#8221; says Prorector of UCPH Bente Merete Stallknecht.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up university networks is a key initiative in the Commission&#8217;s efforts to build a European\u00a0Education Area\u00a0by 2025. Prorector Bente Merete Stallknecht expects that by joining 4EU+, the University will have better opportunities to influence the EU&#8217;s future research and education policy and to attract funds from the EU research and education programmes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Students&#8217; top 10 workplaces<\/p>\n<h3>Commercial and administration<\/h3>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lego<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 McKinsey &amp; Company<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Deloitte<br \/>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A.P.
