An innovative and recognised research environment
SDU Vejle is built on two new academic centres dedicated to groundbreaking research and education covering a broad range of areas within IT.
Inspiring and groundbreaking
The interplay between the two academic centres fosters the convergence of theory and practice, fuelling innovation and supporting the local and regional industries with highly skilled graduates. In close collaboration with local businesses and industry, they form a research ecosystem that blends rigorous academic inquiry with real-world impact to address some of the most pressing challenges in modern technology.
Here, researchers are not only pushing the boundaries of IT knowledge, but also developing technologies that will shape the future of industries and society.
Centre for Software Technology
The academic focus of the SDU Centre for Software Technology is to conduct research in interactive information technology and software engineering.
The areas will be complementing each other to make way for the engineering of the next generation of reliable, intelligent and interactive software solutions. This includes understanding how AI technologies and data-informed software development with a human-centred perspective can change the engineering of products and software infrastructures.
Centre for Computer Science and AI
The Centre for Computer Science and AI aims at being an interdisciplinary hub covering a wide range of core topics in computer science and artificial intelligence.
Its academic focus is to conduct cutting-edge research on different dimensions of digital technology, ranging from the more technical (machine learning, cloud technology, hardware design) to the more theoretical (algorithmics, programming languages, symbolic AI), but also including topics at the intersection of technology and society (cybersecurity, explainable AI, machine ethics).
By promoting the interaction between theory and experiment and in close collaboration with local business and industry, the research environment in the centre will be a key enabler and a cornerstone in the digital development of the local and national society.
Research facilities
The academic centres depend on access to modern laboratories and advanced computing infrastructure to support its research and teaching activities. The plan is to establish multiple laboratories that support working with both product and infrastructure perspectives such as prototyping, software development, product design and testing, as well as AI and edge-cloud computing.
