Welcome to Copenhagen
YPO site inspection, April 2012
Copenhagen, one of the largest cities in northern Europe
Copenhagen is one of the largest cities in northern Europe and also one of Europe's busiest hubs. The city's location has
throughout centuries in an almost natural way created commercial routes to far and near.
Copenhagen is the seat of the National Parliament - the Royal Residence and Supreme High Court. The city was
founded in the years 1160-67 by Bishop Absalon and is today a part of the Danish Cultural Heritage.

SITE
When the College of Advanced Technology was founded
in 1829, Denmark had its first MSc programme in
Engineering at a high academic level. The College
changed its name to Danish Technical College in 1933
and finally became the Technical University of Denmark
(DTU) in 1994.
DTU has always had a strong theoretical grounding. H.C.
Ørsted, the scientist who discovered electromagnetism,
founded the College in the image of École Polytechnique
in France. The DTU is only 15 minutes north of the city
centre of Copenhagen. You can get to DTU in Kgs.
Lyngby by car or by public transportation. Several
busses stop almost at the door.

Bella Sky Comwell is a spectacular skyscraper and striking landmark in Copenhagen’s
newest neighbourhood, Orestaden.
The interior decoration of the hotel is based on an innovation of the classic hotel. Bella
Sky Comwell follows the tradition of renowned Scandinavian design and is decorated
with simple components in stylish materials that reflect the hotel’s exclusivity. With its
23 floors the hotel is not only the largest hotel in Scandinavia – it is arguably the most
aesthetically attractive.
If you would like to explore Copenhagen, you are closer than you may think. Just 100

We recommend accommodation in the nice local area of Kgs. Lyngby to avoid too much
transportation during the conference. 3 hotels and the Campus Village can be found within 2,5 km from the
conference venue. The area has nice pathways and the conference venue can be easily reached from the
hotels on foot, by bus or taxi.
