Events for maritime students at DTU

About our events

Throughout the years Nul-Kryds has organised and hosted various events of different extents, from small Christmas lunches and Martha evenings to weeklong congresses as well as students trips with company visits around the world. It is in the organisations interest to help create connection between companies and students, also to enlighten the students with the different aspects of the maritime industry. For us, it is important to organise several events each semester, to ensure all students get a chance to interact with the companies, and vice versa.
