DTU Ørsted Lectures

Siden 1998 har DTU to gange årligt inviteret prominente og fremtrædende udenlandske forskere til at holde et fagligt oplæg om deres forskning og resultater så det sættes i et større og mere globalt perspektiv. Det ypperste formål med disse forelæsninger er at inspirere og dele en særlig faglige entusiasme blandt forskere, studerende, alumner og andre interesserede inden for et givent fagligt område.

DTU inviterer nogle af verdens førende forskere inden for fagområder, som kan studeres på DTU, hvorfor der findes en snitflade og et overlap mellem indhold af oplæg og kurser på universitetet i Kongens Lyngby.

Forskerne udvælges nøje af DTU Ørsted Boardet inden de inviteres til at forelæse på en DTU Ørsted Lecture og ét af kravene er, udover at de naturligvis bør være fremtrædende og spille en global rolle inden for deres felt, at de er levende og dygtige formidlere. Deres evne til at formidle, så deres glæde ved deres arbejde ikke lader sig skjule, er netop kimen til inspiration og det høje niveau skal sikre det unikke faglige aftryk, som kendetegner DTU.
