We are located at Islands Brygge 37 in the unit's common home zone on the 5th floor. We work in an activity-based layout, and therefore do not have fixed desks. This means, among other things, that it is possible to move things around depending on whether you need to work concentrated, collaborate with colleagues or hold meetings.
