Organising a conference
If you are a researcher employed at the IT University and plan to hold an international scientific conference, please read these guidelines 4 (which is a restricted page) before you take further actions.
Below is a list of conferences which were, is being or will be held at the IT University:
Healthcare has increasingly become a global phenomenon. Even the work within the smallest clinic is inevitably affected by global aspects such as research network of treatment practices and support network of patient groups. The global infrastructures thus affect the local infrastructures and vice versa. Global phenomena such as the increase in patients with chronic diseases also pushes the boundaries for healthcare creating a network of technologies, people, and social arrangement as treatment of one patient involves different professions spread over several institutions and organizational boundaries spanning across various distributed networks. Shortage of local national resources such as workforce, labs, and medical instruments also increases the need to discuss new opportunities to re-think healthcare in a global economy. Finally, global healthcare re-introduces telemedicine and e-health, since new technological opportunities enables complex medical practices, where the patient and the healthcare professional are geographically distributed. In a globalized world policy makers, health care professionals, IT professionals, and researchers share an increasingly pressing interest in understanding, designing, and creating innovative systems of care, which improve communication, coordination, and collaboration among patients and healthcare professionals.
The workshop follows the two previous workshops organized at the Technical University of Denmark in June 2006, and at Copenhagen University in June 2009. What is special with the IHC workshop is that it attracts researchers, health care professionals, IT professionals, administrators, IT companies, and others engaged in the development of infrastructures and new, integrated applications and services for improving the quality of health care services.
The purpose of this third international workshop is to continue this forum for discussing current issues and trends related to the integration and coordination of health care practices across institutional, organizational, professional, and global boundaries.
Date: 23-24 June 2011
Venue: The IT University, Copenhagen, Denmark
Contact person: Associate Professor Pernille Bjørn (General Chair)
Ubicomp is a premier venue for presenting research in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems. Ubicomp is an interdisciplinary field of research and development that utilizes and integrates pervasive, wireless, embedded, wearable and/or mobile technologies to bridge the gaps between the digital and physical worlds. Ubicomp 2010 will bring together top researchers and practitioners who are interested in both the technical and applied aspects of Ubiquitous Computing technologies, systems and applications. The Ubicomp 2010 program features keynotes, technical paper and notes sessions, specialized workshops, live demonstrations, posters, video presentations, and a Doctoral Colloquium.
Date: 26-29 September 2010
Venue: The IT University and the Black Diamond, Copenhagen, Denmark
Contact person: Professor Jakob Bardram655555 (General Chair).
The European Conference on Software Architecture is the premier European conference dedicated to the field of software architecture, covering all architectural aspects of software and service engineering. The ECSA conference series has been built upon a successful series of European workshops on software architecture held in United Kingdom in 2004, Italy in 2005, and France in 2006. Following on the success the EWSA series and three ECSA editions (Madrid in 2007, Paphos in 2008, Cambridge in 2009), ECSA 2010 will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to share novel ideas on the foundations, languages, models, techniques, tools, and applications of software architecture technology. It will include keynotes, research, experience, and challenge papers, posters, and tool demos.
Date: 23-26 August 2010
Venue: The IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Contact persons: Associate Professor Muhammad Ali Babar 877777(Program Committee Chair) and Associate Professor Yvonne Dittrich 988888(Local Organisation Chair).
Games have proven to be an ideal domain for the study of computational intelligence as not only are they fun to play and interesting to observe, but they provide competitive and dynamic environments that model many real-world problems. Additionally, methods from computational intelligence promise to have a big impact on game technology and development, assisting designers and developers and enabling new types of computer games. The 2010 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games brings together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss recent advances and explore future directions in this quickly moving field.
Date: 18-21 August 2010
Venue: The IT University, Copenhagen, Denmark
Contact persons: Associate Professor Georgios N. Yannakakis and PostDoc Julian Togelius (General Chairs).

ALGO is an annual meeting combining the major European algorithms conference, European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA), and a number of smaller, specialised conferences and workshops. With hundreds of participants, ALGO is the major European meeting of researchers and students in algorithms. The first ALGO conference was held in 2001 in Aarhus, Denmark.
Date: 7-11 September 2009
Venue: The IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Contact persons: Associate Professor Thore Husfeldt 111010101010
Theme: Monitoring Movements in Science, Technology and Society
DASTS stands for Danish Association for Science and Technology Studies. The purpose of DASTS is to stimulate quality, broadness and collaboration within STS research in Denmark and to create visibility for Danish Science, Technology and Society (STS) nationally and internationally.
The EASST conference 2008 held in Rotterdam invited the participants to reflect on what ”acting with science, technology and medicine” can entail for STS. The several hundred presenters reported on ”acting with” (in) practice and demonstrated multiple ways in which STS is involved with its fields of study. The conference thus demonstrated that just like scientific practice in other fields, STS research is deeply embedded in current political agendas, exemplified by the enormous interest in partnerships between research institutions and private companies or in how social sciences and interdisciplinary approaches within the social sciences can contribute to industrial innovation and design.
The theme for DASTS 2009 has similar political implications. STS is involved in monitoring both because a lot of STS research focuses on monitoring practices as a subject of study and because the explorative nature of STS can be considered one version of monitoring(albeit a different version than the monitoring practices we study). The theme calls for reflections and discussions of implications of monitoring for STS as well as for discussion about the movements created and transformed by monitoring.

Theme: Rethinking Communities, Rethinking Place
The Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) is an international association for students and scholars in any discipline in the field of Internet studies. Each year, AoIR organises a key event – the annual Internet Research (IR) conference. This conference brings together hundreds of academics, researchers, graduate students and other participants for an interdisciplinary, multi-methodological look at the Internet. The conference has developed a reputation for being friendly, welcoming of diverse opinions and broad in its scope. The conference aims to gather together leading scholars and help set directions for research within disciplines, as well as in interdisciplinary ventures.
Date: 15-18 October 2008
Venue: The IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
