One-week internship at DTU Energy

Do you think that science is exciting? Are you curious to know where the energy will be coming from in the next 10, 20 or 50 years? If the answer is yes, then you should apply for a one-week internship at DTU Energy!

At DTU Energy we work with many different energy technologies such as batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, thermal energy storage, etc.
We work both with theoretical calculations and experiments in small or large scale.

Our research goal is to find solutions for ensuring sustainable energy in the future.

We will take interns from 8th to 10th grade in week 44 where you will have the possibility to experience what research sections are working on.

Below you can see an example of what a programme could look like. The programme may vary from year to year.

NB: The programme and the one-week internship will be in Danish.
