Congratulations to the entire team and their hard-working coaches Jens Myrup Pedersen, Michael Dyrmose and Adam Blatchley Hansen for demonstrating great team work, keeping a cool head, and some amazing skills! Assistant coach Adam Blatchley Hansen, PhD student in the Crypto and Security group, says "Going into the event with a summer of hard training behind us, we knew the team was strong, and we were optimistic about our chances. The teams performance on day one made it clear that we had a real shot of being in top three! Repeating their success on day two is just amazing, and I am so proud of what they have achieved."

Also a big thank you to Mathias Hall-Andersen, Lennart Braun, Claudio Orlandi and Diego Aranha, from the Crypto and Security group, who have designed the crypto challenges used in the regional and national qualifiers to select the final ten, who make up the Danish national cyber team.

The Villum Synergy grant aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research in Denmark by supporting new collaborations that combine expertise within computer science with other research areas. Congratulations to professor Ira Assent and associate professor Panagiotis Karras, who both have been awarded a Synergy grant. Karras will be working to make manufacturing greener and smarter by estimating the lifetime of tools and continuously tuning parameters to extend it. Assent aims to improve the value of data collected in Greenland - over the past 25 years - by improving data processing and analysis to better quantify the rate of climate changes and impacts on ecosystems.
