The plan consists of initiatives within three overall themes (Well-being, Learning environment, and Physical environment), which will be carried out by and involve students, staff and management.     

 
Thesis Talks: Share Your Knowledge!

You have spent hours writing your thesis – why not share your knowledge?

Up to nine graduates will get the opportunity to make a 10 minutes TED-talk-like presentation of their work on September 9.

At the event, you will meet industry, researchers and alumni, all interested in learning more about the topics you have become an expert on. 

Prior to the event, you will be able to join workshops on public speaking and feedback sessions, to help you feel well prepared. 

Application deadline: June 28. Send an email to mcas@itu.dk  with a short application.

We are particularly interested in learning why you believe that your thesis is interesting for the industry and/or the broader society to know about.

The speakers are selected by a panel of ITU Alumni members.
