ICT Research
Aalborg University (AAU)
Aalborg University is a powerful and renowned education and research institution with around 14,000 students and more than 1,200 researchers within four faculties (Humanities, Social Sciences, Engineering and Science and Medicine).
Research has a very high priority at AAU, and one of the University’s strategies is to continuously develop its research areas, programmes and environments in order to be able to attract national and international researchers of very high standard. Being a young, dynamic and innovative university, Aalborg University emphasizes a combination of basic and applied research, which brings the research at the University a unique character of dynamics and flexibility.
By combining academic disciplines and research traditions in new and often interdisciplinary ways, the University has been successful in generating new insights and knowledge.
In this way AAU has placed itself in the international front row of research within Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Take a look and get introduced to the cutting-edge ICT research of North Denmark.

Aalborg University Space Center
| Aalborg University Space Center (AUSC) is a virtual centre. It is a gateway to activities at Aalborg University’s Faculty of Engineering and Science, which interact with space related research and education. The mission of the centre is to make existing initiatives visible and to develop research, education and knowledge dissemination within the field by bringing internal and external partners together. |
Centre for Applied Experience Economy (ApEx)
| ApEx is a technology centre for applied experience economy. The centre’s purpose is to coordinate and promote efforts within the creative industries and experience economy. The centre works with innovation projects in collaboration with business and educational partners, the public sector and culture institutions. ApEx strives towards creation of clusters within the experience economy and improvement of political framework conditions in support of the experience economy. Also, ApEx initiates alliances between the business sector and the private sector. The ApEx partnership consists of public and private organisations with interest in the experience economy. |
Centre for Data-Intensive Systems (Daisy)
| Daisy conducts leading-edge research within key areas of data-intensive systems. Daisy aims to be recognized and respected for its professionalism and leadership. Daisy offers world-class training within data-intensive systems. Daisy offers project-based training on exciting topics to a substantial number of M.Sc. and PhD candidates |
Centre for Embedded Software Systems (CISS)
| Embedded software systems describe dedicated hardware and software that are built into our surroundings to increase comfort and functionality. CISS is internationally recognised for its expertise within the area. In the future there will be intelligent embedded systems in everything – from air conditioning systems to marine boilers. CISS is an innovative, business-oriented competence centre, which has launched several business-related cooperation projects over a four-year period. |
Centre for Intelligent Transport Systems (CITS)
| CITS is a research centre focussing on knowledge about Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). CITS works to promote cooperation and interaction between the relevant research environments at Aalborg University and supports an internal knowledge generation within the research and educational sector of ITS. Aalborg University (AAU) has achieved a high standard of research within ITS. Since ITS covers a very wide area ranging from intelligent equipment to assist the driver during driving to traffic management, the research will naturally become very wide too. At AAU, the main research is conducted within the areas of computer science and traffic planning and development. |
Centre for Model-Based Medical Decision Support (MMDS)
| MMDS develops and tests medical decision support systems, which among other things helps to achieve optimal ventilation for critically ill patients as well as the diagnosis and treatment of serious infections with antibiotic therapy.

Danish GPS Centre (DGC)
| The Danish GPS Centre (DGC) was established 1996 as a research centre at Aalborg University. The basic motivation for DGC is to follow, support, and influence the technological progress of satellite based navigation.
DGC has its roots in surveying, geodesy, mathematical modelling, and digital signal processing. The global positioning system GPS provides precise timing and positioning and has been a revolution for worldwide navigation. As GPS receiver equipment prices drop and precision increases, the applications multiply vastly. Reinforced by the development of the new European controlled positioning system Galileo, the electronic positioning technology will eventually become a natural and necessary part of the modern society. Product optimisation and integration of this technology in many setups are inevitable primarily focussed on applications within infrastructure and communication. |
Research Centre for Interactive Digital Media (InDiMedia)
| InDiMedia, Research Centre for Interactive Digital Media, works with the research and development of interactive communication in new digital media.
The point of departure for the research activities is the user perspective on new media seen from a humanistic and social science perspective. In total, 19 researchers are working for the centre. |
