About this event

Inside the World of Microchips
What’s happening in the chip industry - and could open source turn it upside down?
Microchips are at the center of AI, trade wars and trillion-dollar investments. But something is happening beyond the industry giants: open source is enabling small teams and startups to develop their own microchip prototypes at costs that were once out of reach.
In this TechTalk, chip designer Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen takes us inside the chip industry. How does it work? What is changing? And what does it take to turn an idea into a physical chip?
Through practical demonstrations, Jørgen shows what is possible with open-source chip design. Using a VR headset, he takes us inside a microchip, right down to its transistors. We will explore chip designs and what it takes to build a first prototype, including the skills, costs and practical limitations involved.
Along the way, he shares the story of Merus Audio - from a three-person team at DTU to 10 million chips produced, including chips that help Soundboks deliver their powerful sound.
Who is it for?
Anyone developing hardware, building a startup or curious about the technology and industry behind microchips. No experience in chip design is needed.
About Jørgen
Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen has more than 25 years of experience developing microchips, including roles at Oticon, Merus Audio and Infineon. Today, he runs IC Works, specialising in open-source chip design.

What worked, what broke, what they would do differently. No sales pitches. No product demos. Show what you learned, not what you sell. What to expect Five practitioner talks, 20 minutes each including Q&A Food, drinks and time to meet other people building with Claude Code Who it is for Developers, engineering leads and technical founders using Claude Code, or about to. Come curious. You do not need to be an expert.

Copenhagen | Claude for Science

København, Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark
In person

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude! In September 2026 two AI labs made claims that would have sounded unlikely a year ago. Anthropic reported that Claude agents searched a DNA database for 21 hours and flagged a CRISPR-like enzyme system in bacteriophages. Another well-known, frontier AI lab said one of its models had resolved the blow-up question for the Navier–Stokes equations, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems. The research community is still examining both claims. Both cases show where scientific work is heading. This evening looks at what that means in practice. Four STEM researchers from academia and industry each present one case. What research question they are trying to answer. How they used Claude. What they found. What worked, and what did not. No product demos. No sales pitches. Researchers showing their work. The venue We meet in the historical Auditorium A at the Niels Bohr Institute. The institute opened in 1921. In the 1920s this building was where young physicists worked out quantum mechanics. Bohr gave his lectures in this room. In the 1930s Heisenberg and Pauli sat in the front row. The benches seat about 50, so the evening is small on purpose. Programme (preliminary) 15:30 Doors open 16:00 Welcome 16:10 The story of Auditorium A, told by the Niels Bohr Institute 16:25 Case study 1 16:45 Case study 2 17:10 Break with snacks and drinks 17:40 Case study 3 18:00 Case study 4 18:20 Closing remarks 18:30 Networking 19:00 Close Speakers are added here as they confirm. Who should come Researchers, PhD students and R&D professionals in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, data science, and related fields who use AI in their research or want to start. Seats are limited and registration needs approval. We aim for an even mix of academia and industry. Practical The building houses sensitive research facilities, so guests stay in the auditorium and the rooms next to it all ev
