University of
Copenhagen
Københavns Universitet (University of Copenhagen, UCPH), founded in 1479, is Denmark’s oldest and largest university, recognized internationally for its scientific excellence and influential research. With more than 36,000 students, over 10,000 staff members, and a long history that includes 10 Nobel Laureates and 37 Danish Prime Ministers, UCPH is a leading institution in global health, epidemiology, and population research.
Within IMPROVE PRETERM, the University of Copenhagen provides expertise in perinatal and lifecourse epidemiology, contributing advanced knowledge on how early-life factors shape health across childhood and adulthood. The team offers access to Danish national health registers – among the most comprehensive and high-quality population datasets in the world – enabling robust, long-term outcome research for children and adults born very preterm.
UCPH’s contributions strengthen the project’s comparative analyses across Nordic data sources and support the development of evidence-based strategies to improve lifelong health for preterm-born individuals.
