Education
Mustaf Mohamed Takoy was denied entry to Denmark this summer, despite holding an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for study at UCPH. His fellow students have taken matters into their own hands and appealed the decision.

Politics
Lars Cyril Nørgaard led the investigation into the use of the UCPH retreat rooms. Here he sheds some light on the facts that were uncovered by it.
Science
75 years after Niels Bohr’s open letter to the United Nations, researchers warn that science — once again — is caught up in a collaboration and security dilemma. New geopolitics initiative wants to help the university find its way in an era where research has to be both open and protected.
Working environment
New opportunities for collaboration, but less proximity to researchers. That’s how research adviser Heidi Weje describes life in the UCPH Research and Information Security unit after the reform.
