How to get there
Getting to H.C. Ørsted Institutet, Universtitetsparken 5
TLDR:
1) Get to Nørreport Station by Bus/Metro/S-Train/Train
2) Take a Bus to “Universitetsparken”
1) Getting to Universitetsparken/HCØ from Copenhagen Airport is easily done by public transportation: Take the Metro (look for the big M) from the Airport to Nørreport Station (10-15 minutes). The Metro departs every 4-6 minutes.
Ordinary trains depart from the Airport Terminal 3 every 10-20 minutes. Nørreport Station is just after the central station "København H" (4 stops, 15 minutes) in the direction Copenhagen/Helsingør - the opposite (wrong!) direction is Malmö/Sweden.
Nørreport Station is in central Copenhagen; most hotels are nearby, and the Institute is easily reached by bus. The details are given below.
You need to buy a ticket in the airport terminal before boarding the train (otherwise you'll be charged extra). See "Tickets for public transportation" below.
If you arrive by Inter-City train to Copenhagen, your end stop will usually be the central station København H; take one of the very frequent local trains further to Nørreport station (2 stops by S-train), and follow the directions from there (your inter-city ticket is valid for this as well).
2) From Nørreport Station to Universitetsparken/HCØ: Locate the bus stop of the busses 184, 185, 150S and 15E (it is in the northern part of the station area, on the same side of the road as the exits for the S-train). All four busses have Nørreport as their end stop, so there is no question of direction. Ask the driver to drop you off at Universitetsparken. The H.C. Ørsted Institute (HCØ) is the big building across the street to your left.
A taxi from the airport to the H.C. Ørsted Institute (HCØ) or hotels costs approx 300 DKK (40 EUR). A taxi from Nørreport Station to the H.C. Ørsted Institute or hotels costs <100DKK.

Tickets for Public Transportation
All busses and trains (incl. metro) use the same ticket system, so only one ticket is needed for a journey by bus and train. It is 3 zones from the airport to Copenhagen/the H.C. Ørsted Institute. Buy tickets on the bus (cash only, preferably exact change) or at ticket stands/machines at the train stations. Or buy via your mobile phone. Read about buying tickets here.
If you plan on taking the bus several times during your stay, it might be cheaper to use a travel card (Rejsekort) than buy single tickets.
The City Pass gives you unlimited access to buses, trains and metro in the centre of Copenhagen and to and from the airport (zones 1, 2, 3 and 4). You can buy a 24-hour or a 72-hour City Pass. The FlexCard allows you unlimited travel by bus, train and Metro for seven days in the number of zones you pay for. If you want to visit some of Copenhagen's attractions you should consider a Copenhagen Card which entitles you to unlimited bus, metro and train travel and gives you a discount or free entrance to many major attractions.
Please consult DOT's website for more information about tickets and zones.
"Visit Copenhagen" also provides information about the various tickets and prices (in English).
