OpenITU
Popular debates in a relaxed atmosphere
OpenITU is a public initiative at the IT University of Copenhagen, which aims to create a relaxed platform where researchers and audience are on equal footing and conversations on IT topics can be easily followed.
With OpenITU we want to increase awareness of the ITU research departments through interesting and curious presentations of transdisciplinary scientific research. The events will bring forth critical discussions on interesting and easily followed topics within robotics, culture, technology, design, business and art.
All OpenITU events are free of charge and open to the public. It will be possible to enjoy a beer or drink during or after the talks.
