 Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is the main training and research institution for engineering in Denmark. It was founded in 1829 by order of the King under the direction of Hans Christian ørsted, whose discovery of electromagnetism has proved a key factor in the creation of modern society.
As of January 1, 2007, DTU merged with the Danish Institute for Food and Veterinary Research, Risø National Laboratory, the Danish Institute for Fisheries Research, the Danish National Space Centre, and the Danish Transport Research Institute
This merger meshes perfectly with DTU's strategy and provides unique opportunities to develop DTU within such fields
as life sciences and health, sustainable energy and transport, space sciences, and marine technologies.
"The relatively small number of students and the large number of labs/ resources at DTU guarantee an ‘ideal’environment for students."
– Carlo Maria Radice, Italy

| A Danish consortium is developing a cordless, electronic patch to allow people with long-term illness to move around freely
instead of being wired to
monitoring equipment. |
The A.P. Møller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation donated €13.4 million for nanoresearch in Denmark. This money allowed DTU to create the Center for Electron Nanoscopy with two of the world’s most powerful electron microscopes and other equipment. |
The hydrogen-powered car DTU Dynamo from the Department of Mechanical Engineering won the urban car category in the 2006 Shell Eco-Marathon in France. DTU Dynamo traveled 810 km on the fuel equivalent of 1 liter of 95 octane gasoline, setting an unofficial world record. |
