The Danish National Research Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation and VILLUM FONDEN now enter contract negotiations with Danish universities about the establishment of the up to now greatest research centre for artificial intelligence in Denmark.
"Denmark has fantastically well-organised data collection across public institutions that one would never come across in the United States. Data that makes it possible to harness the possibilities of artificial intelligence and, for example, predict the earlier stages of breast cancer, monitor endangered species or make urban planning smarter," states Professor Serge Belongie, the pioneer centre’s future director.
The participating universities are Aalborg University, Aarhus University, DTU, the IT University and the University of Copenhagen - and the centre will be situated at University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science.
