MobileHCI 2015 Venue

Copenhagen

The city's slogan reads "Wonderful Copenhagen", which is (as we think) a perfect starting point for having a Wonderful MobileHCI 2015.

The conference will take place in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. Copenhagen is the most populated city in Denmark with around 1.25 million people living in the urban area of the city. The city was founded by the Vikings in the 10th century and became the capital of Denmark in the 15th century. Nowadays Copenhagen focuses on the cultural and urban development. It is one of the biggest financial centers in northern Europe and has also a very vivid economy.

Copenhagen is a very popular destination for tourists. With its far-reaching history and lots of attractions over 700 000 tourists visit the city each year. In addition the Copenhagen Port with more than 250 cruise liners per year attract even more people to pay the city a visit.

Copenhagen is not only known for its tourism but also for the great number of education opportunities in the city. More than 94 000 students are enrolled at the three major universities. The University of Copenhagen is the oldest one in Denmark and has been ranked as one of the best in Europe. It offers several degrees of education in a variety of different subjects ranging from health and medical to law and theology.
