Inaugural lecture by Professor Thomas Binder

Written 2 June, 2025 07:49 by Mette Strange Mortensen

For Professor Thomas Binder it is an important part of his work as a researcher that he is also a teacher and is in contact with the digital designers of the future. Design emerges in the interaction between people and the world around them. Therefore, he wants to inspire students to connect to the world they are going to work in rather than trying to reinvent it.

“I find it exciting to educate young people in digital design and to contribute to shaping an important professional field that is constantly evolving. The university should be a place where we not only pass on what we already know but also serve as a laboratory for exploring new ways of doing things. I see the students as important participants in that process. Therefore, as researchers and educators, we must also engage with all the ‘crooked’ problems in the world," says Thomas Binder, "when we educate young designers, it is important that they understand that, as designers, we are not meant to clear the table and invent something entirely new. We must connect with everything that is already in motion and help those who are in the midst of that movement to find their footing amidst all the fluidity and change.”

Just a five-minute walk from the IT University lies the district of Sønderbro, which is currently undergoing urban renewal, to which Thomas Binder is also contributing. Here, he has the opportunity to bring design and design culture out into the real world, engaging directly with life beyond the university.

“Design culture only improves by moving beyond the university as a closed workshop. It must connect with the world around it. I’m drawing on that right now, as I’m involved in a project focused on the urban renewal of Sønderbro. A great deal is happening there at the moment in terms of sustainability and urban development. I believe it’s important that we, as a university, step out and take part in the life of the city. We are situated in a city where so much is going on. Many things are in motion and complex, and here we can contribute — and in doing so, deepen our own knowledge and professional understanding,” says Thomas Binder.

He is now a professor at ITU, where he will give his inaugural lecture on 19 June 2025 at 14:30 in Auditorium 0. The lecture is entitled “What design can do and how it matters”.

"My lecture will focus on my perspective on design. To me, design is about playing with ideas of how the world could be. Design does not dictate how the world should be arranged, but it can open a space where we are allowed to speculate. Design plays an important role by revealing possibilities, but it should not attempt to carve those possibilities in stone. On the contrary, an open approach to design can make the world more liveable," says Thomas Binder about his inaugural lecture.

Bringing together a technical background and design research

Thomas Binder has a past at DTU, and the Danish design schools, respectively in Copenhagen and Kolding, where he was, among other things, Head of Center for Design Research and was in charge of helping the design schools’ efforts to become research-based.

This summer Thomas Binder has been at ITU for two years, and here, he truly gets the opportunity to combine his technical background with design research.

"I’ve been on a journey from the technical to more purely design-oriented work, and now I have the chance to draw on both. It’s exciting to have worked with design research, and it’s a privilege to now return to the field of interaction design, where ITU offers a vibrant research environment with a great deal to contribute," says Thomas Binder.

Inaugural lecture by Professor Veronika Cheplygina

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 15:13:18 GMT

Veronika Cheplygina improves the field of machine learning through meta-research

On 10 June 2025 at 14:30, Professor Veronika Cheplygina will present her inaugural lecture in Auditorium 0 at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lecture is entitled: “Not real research”.

Veronika Cheplygina About ITU Events

Written 26 May, 2025 07:37 by Mette Strange Mortensen

Exactly 10 years after she defended her PhD, Veronika Cheplygina will give her inaugural lecture as professor at the IT University of Copenhagen. She started her academic career in machine learning, but already during her PhD she started questioning the way research was done and wondered if research was just optimised for publication.

“My PhD research was about specific types of machine learning, which could be used for several applications, including medical imaging, which I focused on after my PhD. While reading papers about it, I saw various patterns about how people were doing research. For example, I saw that people were introducing essentially the same method but calling it something entirely different, perhaps for the sake of novelty”, says Veronika Cheplygina, “so you would never find the literature on both if you didn't try to search for synonyms, or more broadly, look at the assumptions used to design a method. What I was noticing was these problems with how the research might be optimised for publication rather than for generalisable results.”

She started looking further into this and similar phenomena and wrote several survey papers about this. In recent years, her research has shifted towards research on what people are investigating and why. For example, she is interested in what kind of data people use and if the quality of the data and the evaluation practices actually justify the conclusions of the research.

“What I find interesting about my work is that not a lot of people want to work with data. I think this is in part because of the emphasis placed on novelty and state-of-the-art results when publishing at conferences. Essentially, you can download some publicly available data, and without understanding the data, immediately get started with optimizing your method until you get good results. I guess it is more difficult to look across multiple different studies and see if the conclusions are the same,” says Veronika Cheplygina, “and this is also a more difficult way to publication, than introducing a novel method. I find it interesting that people do agree that such studies are important, but that they often do not do it”.

Veronika Cheplygina’s inaugural lecture will be held on 10 June 2025 at 14:30 in Auditorium 0 at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lecture is entitled: “Not real research”. This is a reference to the reception of the work that Veronika Cheplygina does.

“In a previous job I was asked when I was going to start doing real research. The implication was that writing surveys instead of proposing novel methods was not real research. It really left an impression,” says Veronika Cheplygina.

Her “not real research” has now made her a professor at ITU. However, she is not afraid to share when she is failing. Most researchers share when they get a new grant or publish in big journals. So does Veronika Cheplygina, but she also talks about all the papers, promotions and grants she did not get:

“I mean researchers are just people. So, it doesn't make sense to me to pretend to be like this person on the pedestal,” says Veronika Cheplygina, “as a postdoc I saw that a Professor at Princeton University shared a CV of failures, and thought at that point, that mine was already longer. When I shared it, I got so many positive responses. It somehow felt more impactful than publishing a paper that maybe ten people would read. I continued updating it and have also interviewed other researchers on their failures.”

Looking into diversity in teams and algorithms

Even though Veronika Cheplygina’s research has been called not “real”, and she has published her failures, she has also managed to succeed. She came to ITU in 2021 during the COVID lockdown and for the first six months had to do her research from home. This gave her time to read and write a lot of research about research. This research recently landed her a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

“I am doing a project called CHEeTAh: CHallenges of Evaluating Teams and Algorithms, where my team and I are investigating how the practice of machine learning competitions, often hosted at conferences or in education, could potentially exclude researchers and students who are not eager to compete or simply do not have the resources to do so. This project aims to explore inclusive ways of organizing machine learning competitions by investigating whether competitions that require algorithms to succeed on multiple evaluation metrics can lead to better algorithms and more diverse teams,” says Veronika Cheplygina, “I hope that this project will also leads to tools that can be used at conferences or in classrooms. I am not only finding problems, I am also proposing solutions.”

Inaugural lecture by professor Anna Vallgårda

Wed, 14 May 2025 15:19:42 GMT

Since January 1, 2025, Anna Vallgårda was appointed Professor at ITU.

Professor Anna Vallgårda will give her inaugural lecture on May 09, 14:30 – 16.00 PM at the IT University of Copenhagen, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, Auditorium 0 (zero). The lecture is followed by a reception at the first-floor repos of RLV.

Title: Radical Redesign of Care Technologies

Abstract:

Despite its promise of life improvements and optimizations, we see how the increased undisclosed and complex use and misuse of data fosters personal and societal mistrust. The algorithmic designs on social media help generate societal divergence and social isolation. The increased cyborg existence characterized by self-tracking and medical technologies creates an intimate dependence on the norms embedded in their designs. For many, this dependence causes stress, rumination, low self-esteem, and increased vulnerability. On top of this comes the highly problematic ecological footprint that the mass consumption of digital devices and services has on our planet. Design research forms a crucial counterweight in not just critiquing current trajectories but in demonstrating alternative possible futures by radically redesigning existing solutions.

The first body of work demonstrates a move from treating the user as a matter of fact - or as a collection of data points - to treating the user with a matter of compassion. In a series of designs, we address mental and social well-being by poking into our relations with others and ourselves. Specifically, these designs foster compassionate engagements in contexts of abortion, pregnancy, ovulation, and premenstrual disorders.

The second body of work concerns care technologies designed for people with chronic illnesses. Here, I challenge the figure of the user as a recipient of the design, arguing that people living with these chronic conditions are always more than users and disregarding this might cause harm. We all attune differently to the world around us, including the technologies we live with, and we, therefore, need a much larger variety in the designs of care technology. To achieve this, I propose a deeply situated design approach where the designer dwells in individual diversities and interprets this into a range of designs.

Inaugural lecture by Professor Vasilis Galis

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 12:51:38 GMT

Written 13 March, 2025 09:18 by Mette Strange Mortensen

Riding the metro in Athens, on his way to have coffee with a friend, Vasilis Galis found his research field and motivation. His friend was wheelchair-bound and living in a city that is quite inaccessible to wheelchair users. But the Athens metro was accessible, even for people in wheelchairs, and they got to talk about this. “When I take the metro, it feels like my wheelchair disappears,” said his friend Nikos, and it made Vasilis Galis think about his own privileges as an able-bodied person. “This experience made me want to do research that matters to society, against the dictatorship of the normal, as a refusal to the current, against dead time,” says Professor Vasilis Galis.

Vasilis Galis started his research career as a PhD student in the field of economics and innovation, but it did not feel quite right until that day on the metro with his friend.

“I wanted to conduct research about something that had an impact on and for social groups, who are often overlooked and marginalised. I needed my research to be in closer contact with society than it was when I first started my PhD,” says Vasilis Galis.

On 28 March 2025 at 14:30 Vasilis Galis will present his inaugural lecture entitled “Research against dead time”.

“My inaugural lecture will reflect my research. I want my research to go a bit outside of the prism of the market, without compromising on the academic standards. I think a lot of research focuses on how to create value for the industry, but I want my research to focus on creating value for societal and grassroot movements,” says Vasilis Galis.

Vasilis Galis’ research has mainly revolved around how technical and digitalization projects affect social groups: migrants, people with disabilities, or Indigenous populations, amongst others.

“My research is in epistemic solidarity with social groups who are often marginalised, and I try to bring their perspectives forward without becoming an avant-garde translator of their interests,” says Vasilis Galis, “I hope my research will have an impact in the real world. I try to make sure that my results do not just stay in academia but come back to the people associated with it.”

Eleven years ago, Vasilis Galis came to ITU. While being here his research has had an increased focus on how the public sector in Denmark is being digitalized and especially the police and their use of surveillance.

“I have recently completed a research project on the digitalisation of the Danish police. Digitalisation appears like a necessity for both the government and the media, but it is not as straight forward as it seems or just a technical matter. Through my research, I want to create awareness about e.g. surveillance, the involvement of big tech in critical sections of the state, such as law enforcement, and the outsourcing of police infrastructure. I think people should be aware of how police work affects them, and how data is used by the police, the migration authorities, in courts and so on” says Vasilis Galis:

“This is especially timely and important in a volatile world as ours. My hope is that my research can be used against contemporary technopolitical totalitarianism.”

LAUNCHE EVENT: CENTER FOR DIGITAL PLAY

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 13:35:33 GMT

Play is at the heart of our experience of digital technologies. Whether it is playing around with Artificial Intelligence systems that create texts and images, like DALL-E or GPT-3, engaging in the role-playing mechanics of social media, playing with computers and digital artefacts has a critical role in shaping the digital society. Digital play is an intrinsic yet understudied phenomenon in digital societies, and the play perspective can provide novel insights into the uses and design of computer games, gamification, and game-trained AI; and into the practices of the many communities and users which engage in playful practices as part of their everyday life and cultural engagement.

The Center for Digital Play's ambition is to define what it means to study of play in digital societies from a multidisciplinary perspective. Novel phenomena require novel methods and theories, and the purpose of the Center for Digital Play is to become a reference in the present and future of play and game studies.

The Center for Digital Play is a new research center at the IT University that studies the role of play in shaping digital societies, from artificial intelligence and games to arts and social practices.

The Center for Digital Play is formed by 4 research groups that collaborate in the study of play in digital societies, approaching this topic from a multidisciplinary perspective that encompasses computer science, the humanities, social sciences, psychology, and design research.

ETIK SOM VEJVISER I AI-LANDSKABET

Wed, 25 May 2022 09:16:32 GMT

Konference den 20. maj 2022

Arrangør: Nationalt Center for Etik

Kunstig intelligens (AI) og maskinlæring er på alles læber i disse år. Som så ofte før håber vi at informationsteknologi kan hjælpe med at løse de store samfundsmæssige udfordringer: AI-projekter sættes i søen med henblik på at øge den offentlige sikkerhed, optimere transport og logistik til gavn for klimaet, og bruge sundhedsdata til at skræddersy patientbehandlinger.

I Danmark har vi noget ingen andre lande har: Et dataetisk råd. Vi har længe haft et etisk råd og nu har vi også et Nationalt Center for Etik, hvor de to råd forener kræfterne. Konkret betyder det, at vi som digitaliseret samfund får endnu bedre muligheder for at tage stilling til brugen af umodne teknologier – og deres ventede og især uventede konsekvenser.

Den offentlige debat har de senere år kredset om betydningen af principper som ansvarlighed, gennemsigtighed, privatliv, værdighed og lighed i forbindelse med teknologiudvikling.

Med det nye Nationalt Center for Etik kan vi fortsætte diskussionen og skabe en tydelig retning, som bidrager til at virksomheder, myndigheder og samfundets institutioner som helhed kan tage velovervejede valg, når det kommer til nye teknologier.

Etikken er et vigtigt redskab, når valg skal træffes. Det kan være valg om hvilke data, der skal indsamles og om hvordan de bruges. Etikken kan hjælpe med at navigere i et landskab af muligheder såvel som faldgruber. Men hvordan ser landskabet ud og hvordan kan etikken konkret hjælpe med retningen?

Deltagere:

Margrethe Vestager vil give sit perspektiv på AI i fremtidens Europa.

Johan Busse, formand for Dataetisk Råd og Leif Vestergaard Pedersen, formand for Det Etiske Råd, vil vise, hvordan man gør etikken anvendelig, konkret og relevant.

Brit Ross Winthereik, professor ved Center for Digital Velfærd ITU, vil tale om, hvordan etik som praksis bør spille en rolle i forhold til implementering af AI i velfærdsstaten.

Pia Færch, Kontorchef ved Center for Digitalisering og Teknologi ved KL, vil diskutere potentialet såvel som de etiske udfordringer forbundet med at bruge AI i kommunerne.

Ole Kjeldsen, Direktør for Teknologi og Sikkerhed ved Microsoft, giver et indefra-perspektiv på, hvordan man som virksomhed kan arbejde med etik og kunstig intelligens.

Dagen modereres af direktør hos Elektronista Media, Christiane Vejlø.

Inaugural Lecture by Professor Yvonne Dittrich

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Abstract:

Software development is a cooperative endeavor. To develop both useful and usable software in a sustainable way, people have to cooperate and communicate, across organizational and disciplinary borders. The cooperative and human aspects of software engineering will become even more defining in the future: The development of societal IT infrastructures, the spreading of open source, and the increasing provision of software as a service challenges our conceptualization of software engineering on a deeper level: These developments imply changes to the technical design as well as the social arrangements of how software is developed. We, though, do not have the concepts to understand and support these developments. The current theory of computer science and software engineering, by and large, neglects the cooperative dimension of software development.

The cooperative and human aspects of software engineering have been at the core of my research: I have been part of introducing qualitative social science methods into software engineering and developed Cooperative Method Development, an action research approach tailored to software engineering. Based on the results of several empirical research projects, I challenged the common understanding of software engineering of where, when and how software is developed: software is developed through an interlacing of heterogeneous design and development activities often spread across organizations and continuing throughout the lifetime of software products. End-user development is part of this interlacing that enables organizations to maintain their capability to innovate the way they work together with the supporting IT infrastructure.

I outline three lines of research that I see as necessary to understand and support the industry and society to cope with the challenges outlined above: a.) In order to understand and support continuous software engineering of software as a service, we need to learn how high-performance CSE teams manage; b.) in order to support our society to make use of the data and it-infrastructures we need to find new ways co-design IT; and c.) last but not least, in order to support current and emerging ways in which software engineering is organized, we need to develop our theoretical underpinning to also embrace the cooperative and human aspects of software.

Inaugural Lecture by Professor Thore Husfeldt

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 12:30:49 GMT

Abstract:

I fell in love with algorithms as aesthetically and intellectually enjoyable solutions to abstract and somewhat obscure problems many years ago. Today, these algorithms are in everybody’s pockets. Literally.

I will try to explain my view of the cognitive development that led us here, the development that transformed us from cave-dwellers to mobile phone users: The civilization-spanning history of our discovery of universal descriptions for quantities, words, and music, culminating in the descriptions of processes. That is what algorithms are: universal descriptions of how to do things.

Narrowing the focus from 25,000 years to the last 50 or so, to the fledgling academic discipline of Computer Science, I will then describe the changing values in the analysis of algorithms, "from correctness and efficiency to privacy and fairness." Explainability plays a big role for me in these values, and I will briefly present my own research and teaching agendas through that lens, looking both backward and forwards.

I hope that much of this makes sense to a general audience.

DIGITALISERINGENS UDFORDRINGER: FORSTÅ DINE BRUGERE

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 15:39:15 GMT

Mange kigger mod digitalisering for at effektivisere og yde en bedre service. Dog står og falder indfrielsen af disse gevinster med de data, man indsamler om brugeres adfærd og behov samt den efterfølgende dataanalyse. På dette seminar den 23. januar får du indsigt i en metode til dataindsamling og et konkret eksempel på dataanalyse.

Det er efterhånden gået op for mange, at man ikke kan digitalisere sig ud af alt. Hvis ikke man forstår brugernes udfordringer, kan man ikke digitalisere deres adfærd. Men hvordan får man valid indsigt i de problemer, som brugerne oplever i mødet med fx digital selvbetjening? Og hvordan kan man klassificere de problemer, som brugerne oplever, så man kan tage kvalificerede beslutninger i en udviklingssammenhæng?

Denne eftermiddag giver tre forskere indsigt i resultaterne af et casestudie, hvor der først er udviklet en metode til at generere data om brugere, og efterfølgende udført en dybdegående analyse af det omfattende datasæt fra denne undersøgelse.

Willem Pieterson præsenterer resultater fra den seneste forskning omkring borgeres kanalvalg (channel choice) til kontakt med offentlige myndigheder. Samtidig præsenterer Willem nogle af de dataudfordringer, som vi står med i udviklingen af løsninger og fortsat forskning indenfor området.

Christian Østergaard Madsen fremlægger en metode til dataindsamling som i samarbejde med fx sagsbehandlere giver indsigt i brugernes problemer. Metoden giver et statistisk grundlag til at vurdere, hvilke problemer brugerne oplever. Derved giver metoden også et bedre udgangspunkt for at designe løsninger, der løser de problemer, som brugerne reelt har. Metoden kan både bruges i forbedringer af eksisterende systemer og til udviklingen af nye.

Sara Hofmann fremlægger resultaterne af en omfattende analyse af data indsamlet med ovennævnte metode. Ved at kombinere observationer, interviews og klassificering af emner fra 10.000 telefonopkald giver data indblik i kompleksiteten i brugernes kanalvalg og de problemer, der får folk til at ringe. Undersøgelsen viser bl.a., at brugerne har de nødvendige digitale færdigheder, men ofte mangler nødvendig viden om offentlige services til at kunne bruge selvbetjeningsløsninger uden at få hjælp.

Hvordan skaber det digitale Danmark sammenhæng?

Danmark er i fuld gang med at digitalisere borgernes kontakt til det offentlige. Men med de digitale selvbetjeningsløsninger er borgerne i høj grad blevet deres egne sagsbehandlere. Hvordan oplever borgerne rejsen gennem systemet, når de søger om offentlige ydelser? Og hvordan arbejder myndighederne med at skabe mere sammenhængende brugerrejser?

DATA AS RELATION LAUNCH EVENT

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:59:22 GMT

The big data revolution has reached the public sector in Denmark. As a forerunner in Europe, the Danish public sector uses large quantities of big data about its citizens. Thus this big data revolution poses new questions to be answered:

– How is data about citizens collected, negotiated and used in public governance?
– How does data create new relations between citizens and government?
– How can public institutions use data responsibly?

These are some of the concerns a new ITU research project, Data as Relation – Governance in the Age of Big Data, focuses on. The project aims to explore how public institutions can benefit from big data while respecting democratic values as openness and responsibility.

Programme:

“Governance through and of data: On knowledge, values, and politics” by Judith Simon, Professor at University of Hamburg

“The data-driven public sector – opportunities and challenges ahead” by Jens Krieger Røyen, Head of Office at the Agency of Digitisation
