The new research tower, the Maersk Tower, is located in the centre of Nørrebro in Copenhagen and marks a new chapter in health and medical research in Denmark. Researchers and students at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND) at the University of Copenhagen have gained ultramodern research and teaching facilities.

Experience world-class health and medical research

On the tour of the Maersk Tower you will learn about the vision for the new beacon within health and medical research at the University of Copenhagen. You will learn about the research we do here. And you get to visit the laboratory floors and walk around the evocative architecture with its large auditoriums and quiet nooks for studying, all of it covered by 3,300 cobber shutters. The park offers the longest footbridge in Copenhagen, and the top floor possibly the best view of the city – stretching all the way to Sweden.
