The Venue


The Internet Reseach 9.0 conference is hosted by and held at The IT University of Copenhagen (aka ITU), conveniently located not far from the city centre at Rued Langgaardsvej 7. The university offers open wireless internet all over the building, and up-to-date projector and sound equipment in all major conference rooms. The IT University of Copenhagen was founded 1999, and offers a variety of programmes in an international atmosphere. Research and teaching are based on a broad approach to IT, from a computer science, a business, and an arts and humanities perspective. The university moved into its current facilities in 2004, and the ITU building, designed by the internationally renowned architect Henning Larsen, is already well-known nationally for its innovative in-door architecture.

The registration desk and coffee and lunch break area is conveniently located right inside the main entrance at Rued Langgaardsvej 7 on the ground floor atrium. You can't miss it!

Map with ITU's location in relation to inner city, with DR-Byen Metro marked (the nearest metro stop). See below for directions on how to get from the metro to ITU.

Getting from Your Hotel to the Conference Venue

From Hotel Opera and Hotel Maritime, the easiest thing is to take the metro from "Kongens Nytorv" to the "DR-Byen" metrostop (get on the Metro headed for "Vestamager"). It's a 6 min ride or so, and from DR-Byen is about a 7 min walk to the IT Unversity (ITU).
Getting from the DR-byen metro stop to ITU: Once you get off the metro, just head for the big blue cube building on your left (DR's soon-to-be-revealed concert hall). There will be signage all the way from the metro and a volunteer to point you in the right direction Thursday morning. Basically you walk a little on an asphalt path, and then you get to a big building, and then you just have to follow the water canal past this building (the DR-building), cross an asfalt road which runs over the canal, and then the next building on the right hand side you see is ITU (glass, concrete and steel). It may sound complicated, but once you're there, it's really quite simple! And fyi, DR is an abbreviation of "Denmarks Radio", the Danish equivalent of BBC, it's their headquarters you're passing!).

From CabInn City, take bus 5A from Polititorvet (3 min walk from the hotel), direction "Kastrup/Lufthavn Udenrigs". It's a 8 min ride. Get off at the Amager Boulevard/Amager Fælledvej junction (ask the driver) and walk to the IT-University from there: just walk down Amager Fælledvej, and take a right at the first road on your right hand (Rued Langgaardsvej). ITU is the first building on your left, no. 7. This walk takes about 10 min.

From the City Center Hostel, it's about a 20 min. walk (see map with the route). Otherwise, go to Rysensteensgade close by, take bus 33, direction "Søvang", get off at the "Hørgården" stop 10 min. later and walk up Amagerfælledvej, the road where you get off. Turn down the second road on your left hand side (Rued Langgardsvej). ITU is the first building on your left, no. 7. It's a 5 min. walk.
