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.

Asia trip for students, visiting Shipyard and other maritime companies
Every second year, DTU maritime helps organize and finance a student excursion to the Ship giants mostly in Eastern Asia, where the students get to see the large-scale building facilities. The trip usually lasts about a week, during the school autumn break, where numerous different companies are explored. Another wonderful experience is visiting universities, where the last trip visited a technical university, where the students also had lunch with the maritime students and got a chance to talk with the Korean students, to hear how studying in South Korea is like.
