UCPH is the result of the fusion between the Institute of Geography and the Geological Institute. The Department of Geography & Geology carries out research and offers courses at bachelor, masters and Ph.D. level. The department of Geography & Geology is a part of the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen. The department is also a part of Geocenter Denmark which is a national center of geoscientific research, education, consulting, innovation and publishing at a high international level.

Contribution to the PP.
UCPH will participate to WP6 and WP7.
WP6: in Task 6.4 UCPH will concentrate on the development and testing of eInfrastructure, based on its profound experience with data acquisition, distribution and dissemination in collaborative projects. A main contribution will be to ensure the capability of the infrastructure to handle the needs of euro-array.
WP7: in Task 7.1 and 7.2 UCPH will participate in ensuring maximum operability of the developed infrastructures with emphasis on user friendliness and functionality as well as integration between individual components. An important aspect is development of the open-access principle for facilities and data bases to the whole community.
