    Upcoming events

    Study trip to the industry - Spring 2025


    21st to 23rd of April

    For the three day maritime study trip, we are going a bit far away, to the Northern part of Denmark where the maritime industry is strong, namely Frederikshavn. We will be visiting Orskov shipyard, MAN, MarineShaft, MeProduction and hopefully also MARTEC. We will also plan some social events during the days, and on Monday we will be staying in Aalborg, so we can go and grab a drink in Jomfru Ane Gade, if interested.


    The plan is to leave Monday noon (around 12), and be back Wednesday evening, after sailing home with Molslinjen. The trip will be sponsored by ShippingLab, covering transport, accommodation and food, although we will still be requiring a small own-payment of 250 DKK per person. It is a nice opportunity to see theDanish maritime industry including Shipyards, production facilities, manufacturers and other maritime related companies in Frederikshavn and surrounding area, as well as networking with companies and other maritime students.


    We have a maximum of 18 spots, and will if necessary be picking participants based on study line relevancy and motivational text.

    Signup deadline: March 27th

    Company Evening 


    March 13, 2025: Carbon Capture, Transport & Storage

    Nul-Kryds Company evenings are a chance to discuss the industry with leading experts. The aim is to establish 2-3 events per year, where different companies and specialists get to present their company, upcoming projects, new technologies or anything related and interesting for our maritime students. The event takes 2 to 3 hours, so a good way to learn something new.


    Venue: DTU Meeting Centre.

    Date: March 13 2025, ( 17.15 to 19.30 )

    Language: English


    Nul-Kryds will provide sandwiches and beverages at the student-friendly price of 0 DKK. Sign up will open once the date and guest speakers has been confirmed, save the date! signup available soon.

    New maritime Bachelor of engineering line


    DTU has established a new program "Maritim Teknik" which we are very excited about as the new line will make  the maritime line more visible to the students. At open house we from nul kryds  were very happy to see how many intersted guests we had, and how many joined our tour of our marine facilities at DTU. The line will be very similiar to the old "mechanical engineering with maritime specialization", and will have joint classes with the mechnaical engineering students. The line is different as it has more maritime mandatory courses, but still has a few courses of free choice, so each student can pick exactly what direction of the broad indusrtry they find interesting. The courses will be mostly in Ballerup campus, but the maritime courses will all take place in Lyngby.
