Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
We are pleased to announce that we will distribute the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, known in Danish as Solsikkesnoren.

Not all disabilities are easily visible. Disabilities can be physical, visual, auditory, or neurological. They include a wide range of conditions such as autism, ADHD, cognitive impairments like learning difficulties and dementia, and mental health issues.

Additionally, there are respiratory and chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, chronic pain, and sleep disorders.

People with disabilities that are not immediately visible may face various obstacles in their daily lives, and in order to make people around them aware of their disability, they may choose to wear the Sunflower.

If you would like to pick up a Sunflower keychain or badge, please stop by our office (4A10) during our opening hours.
 
Access to firm performance data from Mergent
BUILD lab is offering everyone at ITU the opportunity to work with firm performance data from public and private companies around the world through Mergent's database.

Novo Nordisk Hackathon: Cloud Fever
The 24-hour hackathon will be taking place at the Novo Nordisk Hub at ITU in Copenhagen on March 10 and 11. 

This is a chance to work on a real-world challenge using massive data sets in cross-functional teams from different universities.

Your task will be to build the most complete and/or the most efficient solution within the given time frame using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Together with the support of AWS Denmark, we will equip you with the necessary tools to solve the challenge. This includes both training material and free temporary AWS accounts that you can use during the event.

You will gain access to a training program from AWS prior to the hackathon to help you build your solution – this will take place onsite or you can work through the material online at a time that suits you.

We strongly recommend taking a couple of hours for this to make the most of this opportunity.

Mentors from the Novo Nordisk team and certified solution architects from AWS will be on site during the event to provide support.
