Think big - Think new - Think sustainability
Every year, the work of incorporating sustainable initiatives into DTU teaching culminates in a major Green Challenge student conference. This is your opportunity as a student to present your sustainable study project or idea for a project in social, economic, or environmental sustainability.

This year the conference will take place on June 27, 2025 at DTU Skylab. See the preliminary program here
In 2025, more than 50 projects will have the chance to showcase their idea to 25 judging panels consisting of industry professionals, politicians, students and professors.
