2022.05.20 Diploma Award to Dustin Clausen Associate Professor Dustin Clausen has received the Hartmann Foundation's Diploma Prize 2022 for his work on developing and understanding the deep connection between geometry and number theory, two basic fields in mathematics.
2022.04.28 A new tool in the fight against hackers A new form of security identification could soon see the light of day and help us protect our data from hackers and cybercriminals. Quantum mathematicians at the University of Copenhagen have solved a mathematical riddle that allows for a person's geographical location to be used as a personal ID that is secure against even the most advanced cyber attacks.
2022.04.05 ICM events in Copenhagen The International Congress of Mathematicians 6 - 14 July 2022 will not take place as planned in Russia. Instead, the ICM 2022 is reorganised as an online event. However, in different locations – including Copenhagen – talks will be held in real life.

2022.03.03 Margrethe Vestager visits quantum researchers Margrethe Vestager visited the department's quantum researchers in QMATH and Quantum for Life Center. The Vice-President of the European Commission wanted to understand why quantum software is an indispensable element in the race to become a frontrunner in the field of quantum.
2022.01.24 Researchers will enlighten us about insurance and pensions With DKK 45 million (€6M) over the next 12 years, the University of Copenhagen has landed a historically large agreement for additional research and educational programming in the insurance and pension field that will benefit consumers.
2021.12.17 Carlsberg research grants to number theory and geometric analysis Associate Professors Jasmin Matz and Niels Martin Møller both receive the Carlsberg Foundation Young Researcher Fellowships.
2021.12.17 After thousands of years, an iconic whale confronts a new enemy The iconic tusked whale of the Arctic has a new enemy – noise. A unique study from the University of Copenhagen and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources shows that narwhals are highly affected by noise from ships and seismic airgun pulses – even at 20-30 kilometers away. As ice melts, noise levels in the Arctic are rising, worrying scientists about the future of narwhals.
2021.12.15 Fund support for the research project FAIR “Actuarial mathematical modelling adapted to the individual's juridical status”, in Danish abbreviated FAIR, is a new research project that has received support from the Foundation Fynske Købstæders Fond.
