Sustainable Transition Together - Talks & Tunes at DTU Skylab

We present you with a unique chance to engage with some of the forefront student initiatives and prominent profiles in the sustainability agenda. Over the last six months, the world, as we know, changed in the blink of an eye. This disruption calls for innovation, determination, and supportive environments to make the best of it. How do we as students contribute to the sustainable transition?

Free tickets, free food and drinks will be served, and tunes will be provided by Tricolore.

Students prioritise environmental sustainability to a very high extent, and many would like to engage in work and activities that lead to a more sustainable future. The question is: How can different actors in society support students to do so?

We will be introducing you to how we try, at:

DTU Skylab – the hub for technology-based innovation and entrepreneurship at DTU

Station – an upcoming interdisciplinary gathering place and community for students, student organisations and projects in Frederiksberg.

We will then some of the leading organizations and profiles involved in the sustainable agenda in Denmark and the Nordics, in a panel discussion on 'what is possible now' and 'what is missing'. Can the represented organisations in this debate empower students to lead, or push leaders towards, a green transition? Expect nothing but the best.

• Kirsten Brosbøl, Founder & CEO of 2030beyond, Former MP and Minister of Environment, Obama Foundation Scholar
