In a not so distant future, we will be able to get smart electricity from our power sockets. This may lead to easier, cheaper and greener energy for consumers and an entirely new market for power providers. On Thursday, scientists and experts meet to discuss how Denmark can structure a power grid that balances the needs of the environment, consumers and private market players in the best possible way.

Humans are gregarious by nature. But when do people constitute a flock and when are they simply random passers-by going in different directions? The answer to this question is extremely interesting because it can provide better opportunities for planning events, emergency services and smart control of buildings. And computer scientists at Aarhus University have now found the answer.

Five teachers are nominated for Teacher of the Year at the Department of Computer Science.
