History
The previously named Research Center COM was formed in 1998 by merging of the Photonics Group at the Microelectronics Center (MIC) and the Centre for Broadband Telecommunication at the Department of Electromagnetic Systems. To gather all the activities at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) within optical communications and telecommunications, Research Center COM was merged with the Center for Tele-Information and the Department of Telecommunication in 2001. A change in September 2005 of status from a DTU-center to a DTU-Department led to the new and present name: COM•DTU - Department of Communications, Optics & Materials (as of 2006).
