History

• The physicist Hans Christian Ørsted, who had discovered electromagnetic induction in 1820, visited the École Polytechnique in Paris in 1828 and on his return proposed a Danish institution on the French model, and the preparatory decision was taken on 27 January 1829.物理学家汉斯·克里斯蒂安·奥斯特于 1820 年发现电磁感应，1828 年访问巴黎高等工业学校后返国即提议按法国模式在丹麦设立一所学校，该筹备决议于 1829 年 1 月 27 日作出。

• Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt was formally founded on 5 November 1829 within the University of Copenhagen with only two fields, applied natural science, now chemistry, and mechanics, and Ørsted served as its first principal until his death in 1851Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt 于 1829 年 11 月 5 日在哥本哈根大学之内正式成立，最初仅设应用自然科学（今化学）与力学两个方向；奥斯特出任首任校长，直至 1851 年去世。

• The institution opened in two professors' houses in the centre of Copenhagen at Studiestræde 35 and Skt. Pedersstræde, and in 1857 civil engineering became a third independent field of study学校最初在哥本哈根市中心 Studiestræde 35 号与 Skt. Pedersstræde 两栋教授住宅内开学，1857 年建筑工程成为第三个独立学习方向。

• The university moved to the Sølvtorvet and Sølvgade buildings in 1889, designed by the architect Johan Daniel Herholdt, but the new premises lacked modern laboratory facilities and soon became overcrowded学校于 1889 年迁入由建筑师约翰·丹尼尔·赫尔霍尔特设计的 Sølvtorvet 与 Sølvgade 建筑群，但新址缺乏现代实验设施，很快便显得拥挤。

• Training of electrical engineers began in 1903, and on 5 November 1929, the centenary of the foundation, the cornerstone was laid for the Østervoldgade building complex, which was delayed by the Second World War and completed only in 1954电气工程师的培养始于 1903 年；1929 年 11 月 5 日建校一百周年之际，Østervoldgade 建筑群奠基，该工程因二战延宕，直到 1954 年才完工。

• The institution was formally given the name Danmarks Tekniske Højskole in 1933, and in 1960 the decision was taken to move north, with the foundation stone of the new campus laid that year学校于 1933 年正式启用 Danmarks Tekniske Højskole 之名；1960 年决定北迁，并于当年为新校区奠基。

• On 23 and 24 November 1967 the computing centre hosted the first meeting of a study group of the NATO Science Committee, at which the term software engineering was coined1967 年 11 月 23 日至 24 日，该校计算中心承办了北约科学委员会研究小组的首次会议，「软件工程」一词即在此次会议上提出。

• The Lyngby campus on Lundtoftesletten was officially opened on 17 May 1974, and on 1 April 1994 the Danish name became Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, producing the abbreviation DTU, with the merger with the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences and Helsingør Teknikum completed the following year位于 Lundtoftesletten 的林比校区于 1974 年 5 月 17 日正式启用；1994 年 4 月 1 日丹麦语校名正式改为 Danmarks Tekniske Universitet，缩写 DTU 由此而来，与丹麦工程学院及赫尔辛格技术学院的融合于次年完成。

• The university became an autonomous institution in 2001 with its own board, external leadership and ownership of its buildings, and the DTU Act adopted that year later became the model for Denmark's general University Act学校于 2001 年成为自治机构，拥有自己的董事会、外部领导层与建筑所有权；当年通过的 DTU 法后来成为丹麦《大学法》的范本。

• On 1 January 2007 the university merged with five departmental research centres, among them the Risø National Laboratory, doubling its staff, and the Risø laboratory itself was finally wound up on 1 January 2012 after having operated independently since its foundation in 19562007 年 1 月 1 日，学校与五个部门研究中心合并，其中包括 Risø 国家实验室，此次合并使员工规模翻倍；Risø 国家实验室自 1956 年成立后独立运作，最终于 2012 年 1 月 1 日解散。
