Globalisation: How do we best further globally interactive teaching and research?
What is ITU’s unique advantage in 2020?
Should the IT University increase itsdomain knowledge and impact in, say, energy, health,it-based teaching?Should the ITU set as its goal to become
the university which is most important for Denmark’s ability to create value with IT?
When is the IT University big enough?
How many PhD students should we admit?
How can we strengthen the Business-angleof the ITU triangle?
How do we define the notion “strategic positions of strength”?
How do we ensure that the IT Universityis an attractive place to work for the peoplebest qualified to achieve the vision of the university?How do we increase alignment?What should the equity be?
How does the university get to thenext step on the reputation ladder?
What needs to be done in order to ensurethat the university can handle the growth innumber of students and employees?
