We are proud to announce that PhD student Adam Blatchley Hansen has been appointed assistant coach for Denmark's ​​National Cyber Team. The ​​National Cyber Team is composed of 10 young IT talents, who are selected via competitions at the Danish Cyber ​​Championships. Together with head coach Jens Myrup Pedersen, Adam will help get the team to the top at international competitions.

Congratulations to assistant professor Sophia Yakoubov, associate professor Panagiotis Karras and professor Ioannis Caragiannis who have received funding from Independent Research Fund Denmark to support their research. Every year, the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) grants funding for hundreds of research projects. This year, 210 researchers across all scientific disciplines have received support from the Danish Independent Research Foundation.

Last week, Independent Research Fund Denmark celebrated the new Sapere Aude Research Leaders at a ceremony in Copenhagen. We are cheering for all of them, but a little bit extra for our own assistant professors Davide Mottin and Chris Rene Schwiegelshohn 🎉 Two young and ambitious researchers you should keep an eye on.
