“I have always thought that we, as engineers, have a big responsibility for developing tomorrow's societal solutions. Since I started studying at DTU, I have participated in all Technology Leaving no one Behind events and workshops in Skylab, because I got new and interesting inputs to engineering novel, innovative solutions. By being more inclusive in the design concepts I work on during my studies at DTU, I can create solutions that can better the lives of everyone in our society.”
August Ahlmann Andersen DTU Student
