The Technical University of Denmark ((デンマーク語:Danmarks Tekniske Universitet)), often simply referred to as DTU, is a university in Kongens Lyngby, just north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was founded in 1829 at the initiative of Hans Christian Ørsted as Denmark's first polytechnic, and is today ranked among Europe's leading engineering institutions, and the best engineering university in the Nordic countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 20 institutions in engineering based on impact )〕 DTU, along with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Eindhoven University of Technology and Technische Universität München, is a member of EuroTech Universities Alliance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EuroTech Universities Alliance )〕 ==History== DTU was founded in 1829 as the 'College of Advanced Technology' (Danish: Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt) with the physicist Hans Christian Ørsted, then a professor at the University of Copenhagen, as one of the driving forces. The inspiration was the École Polytechnique in Paris which Ørsted had visited as a young scientist. The new institution was inaugurated on 5 November 1829 with Ørsted as its principal, a position he held until his death in 1851.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt )〕 The new college's first home was two buildings in Studiestræde and St- Oederstræde in central Copenhagen but although expanded several times they remained inadequate and in 1890 a new building complex was inaugurated in Sølvgade in 1890. The new buildings were designed by the architect Johan Daniel Herholdt.〔 In 1903, the College of Advanced Technology commenced the education of electrical engineers in addition to the construction engineers, production engineers and mechanical engineers already educated at the college. In the 1920s, space had once again become insufficient and in 1929 the foundation stone was laid for a new school at Østervold. Completion of the building was delayed by World War II and it was not completed until 1954.〔 From 1933, the institution was officially known as ''Danmarks tekniske Højskole (DtH)'', which usually was translated as the 'Technical University of Denmark'. Finally on 1 April 1994, in connection with the joining of ''Danmarks Ingeniørakademi'' (DIA) and DTH, the Danish name was changed to ''Danmarks Tekniske Universitet'', in order to include the word 'University', thus giving rise to the acronym DTU by which the university is commonly known today. The formal name, ''Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet'', still includes the original name. In 1960, a decision was made to move the College of Advanced Technology to new and larger facilities in Lyngby north of Copenhagen. They were inaugurated on 17 May 1974.〔 On 23 and 24 November 1967. The University Computing Center hosted the NATO Science Committee's Study Group first meeting discussing the newly coined term 'Software Engineering'.〔NATO Unclassified Document AC/137-D/326〕 On 1 January 2007, the university was merged with the following Danish research centers: Forskningscenter Risø, Danmarks Fødevareforskning, Danmarks Fiskeriundersøgelser (from 1 January 2008: National Institute for Aquatic Resources; DTU Aqua), Danmarks Rumcenter, and Danmarks Transport-Forskning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Technical University of Denmark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
