Starting a study is an exciting new chapter - and this year, a total of 2,200 new BSc and BEng students were welcomed to DTU 👏 A big welcome to every single one of you!

DTU President Anders Bjarklev also wants to acknowledge the 565 talented, well-qualified young people we had to turn down this year. Because Denmark doesn’t need fewer engineers - we need more!

That’s why we’re happy that the Danish government and Parliament have decided to create 2,000 additional undergraduate places within STEM degree programmes.

At DTU, we can and want to educate more engineers – and hopefully, next year, we’ll be welcoming even more students 🙏 Because Denmark needs them!

DTU RAVEN won in the USA 🥇

Before the summer break, DTU RAVEN headed to California to compete against 25 other university teams in a student drone competition. And they took home first place! 🏆

DTU RAVEN participated in the C-UASC (California Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition) in June, where 26 teams from countries including Denmark, Canada, Italy, Turkey, and the USA competed in disciplines such as waypoint navigation, target identification, precision flying, and fully autonomous package delivery.

RAVEN completed all the competition’s planned missions with their drone, Muninn, and ranked as the top team in waypoint navigation. They also set the fastest time in the competition's time trial.

"We knew we had a system that could perform well, but we didn't expect to walk away with the win. All the late nights suddenly felt completely worth it," the team shares.

RAVEN was founded in a garage in the summer of 2024 to give students a space to build autonomous systems, especially at a time when such technology is more relevant than ever. In January 2025, they became an official DTU Blue Dot project, and today the team consists of 18 bachelor's and master's students in electrical engineering, autonomous systems, physics, and mechanical engineering.

The strong academic and social community has already shown its value. For example, three members have founded the DTU startup Triton Depth, which won Student Startup of the Year at the DTU Commemoration Day 2026.

And DTU RAVEN's ambitions extend even further. The team is expanding into new domains, both terrestrial and maritime, while continuing aerial development with a fixed-wing aircraft and research on drone swarms.

A huge congratulations to RAVEN on this impressive achievement! 👏

WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MSC AND EXCHANGE STUDENTS

Around 2,500 new MSc and 646 new exchange students from all over the world are starting at DTU this semester – a big welcome to all of you 🎉

Last week, DTU IntroWeek put together an eventful week of academic and social activities to give the new students the best possible start at DTU ☀️

From meeting fellow students in buddy groups, exploring campus and getting to know Danish culture like “hygge”, to a field trip to Copenhagen and more – there was something for everyone.

In his welcome speech, DTU President Anders Bjarklev shared his advice with the new students:

“So my advice to you is simple: Be curious. Be open. And get involved. Ask questions. Challenge ideas. Try something you have never tried before. And most importantly: Follow your heart and use your head.”

A big thank you to all 92 buddies and coordinators behind DTU IntroWeek for all their hard work and for helping create such a welcoming start for the new students 🫶

WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW BACHELOR STUDENTS 🥳
This week, DTU’s campuses have been buzzing with life as 2,202 new BSc and BEng students start their studies 👏

The past few days have been filled with intro days for the new students, who have been getting to know their study programme, life on campus, and, not least, meeting their new fellow students through fun and social activities.

The intro days culminated yesterday with the big DTU Intro Party at DTU Lyngby Campus 🎉

A big thank you to all the vectors and KABS from PF - Polyteknisk Forening for all their amazing work and for helping create the best possible start for the new students 💚

THERE’S A NEW TRAIN IN TOWN
The Greater Copenhagen Light Rail has finally arrived at DTU Lyngby Campus - and just in time for the study start 👏

For DTU President Anders Bjarklev, the wait has been a little longer than most of us..
46 years, to be exact 😄

He started as a student at DTU in 1980, and on Saturday, 22 August, he finally got to cut the ribbon and officially welcome the light rail on campus ✂️

The new light rail makes it easier for students, staff, and visitors to get to and from DTU Lyngby Campus - with three new stations on campus.

Welcome to DTU, light rail!

Time to sharpen your pencils 📝
Did you know that pencil tips and almost every sharp tip in nature have the same shape? 🐝

Zoom into a thorn, a fang or a stinger, from tiny zooplankton to elephants, and you find the same mathematical profile, a paraboloid expressed as z ~ radius2.

The standard explanation has been that evolution shaped these tips into the most efficient form for piercing. But Kaare Hartvig Jensen, Associate Professor at DTU Physics, found a different explanation. The shape is not the result of biological selection but of being used and worn down.

To test the idea, the team placed pencils with different shapes and hardnesses on a vibrating plate. After hours of random collisions, they all wore down to the same parabolic profile ✏️

And the same pattern appears in nature. Newly formed stinger starts as a sharp cone, but over time, use wears it down to the same parabolic tip.

Understanding why sharp objects converge on this shape could inform the design of tools where tip geometry matters, from surgical needles to cutting instruments, both in terms of performance and how they wear over time 💉

20/08/2026

In less than a week, more than 2,000 new BSc and BEng students will begin their studies at DTU 🥳

Starting university is exciting, but it can also mean a lot of new faces, new surroundings, and new things to figure out. That’s why intro days are all about giving new students the best possible start.

During the intro days, new students will get to know their fellow students, their study programme and life at DTU. And the tutors, known as vectors at DTU, will do their best to make everyone feel at home from day one 👏

Are you ready? We can’t wait to welcome you all on 26 August!

PRIDE 2026 🌈

On Saturday, 15 August, DTU and PF - Polyteknisk Forening joined Copenhagen Pride to celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion.

“You do not need to know everything or get everything right to be a good ally. What matters is making an effort to learn, being open to other perspectives and remaining willing to grow,” says DTU student Vivian Kirkaune, who is one of the organisers of PF and DTU’s Pride activities.

Thank you to all the students and staff who joined us and showed their support for a DTU where everyone can participate, contribute and belong 🫶

If you would like to find a community, learn more or get involved, there are several opportunities at DTU 👇

DTU Lgbtq+ welcomes both students and staff and organises community gatherings, dinners and other activities.

PF’s Social Policy Committee addresses topics including diversity, inclusion, accessibility, gender-neutral bathrooms, and the handling of offensive behaviour.

DTU Feministisk Forum provides a space for students to share experiences and discuss equality at DTU.

Tonight, the Moon takes a big bite out of the Sun 🌘
Denmark will see its strongest solar eclipse since 1954.

The eclipse starts around 7:10 PM, peaks at 8:03 PM with up to 87% of the Sun covered, and ends around 8:50 PM. Since it happens just before sunset, find a spot with a clear view to the west 🧭

The total eclipse only happens in a narrow band across Greenland, Iceland and Spain. Here in Denmark, daylight is expected to drop to around 30% of normal at the peak ☀️

Remember: Never look directly at the Sun. Use certified eclipse glasses marked ISO 12312-2. Regular sunglasses or looking through a window will not protect your eyes!

Planning to take photos? Your camera or phone needs its own solar filter, too. And if you get some good shots (safely!), share them in the comments or tag us 📸

And the sky isn't done after the solar eclipse. The Perseid meteor shower peaks the same night, after midnight, with up to 100 shooting stars per hour 🌠

Want to watch together? Stars is hosting a watch event tonight by the Hermitage Castle in the Jægersborg Deer Park (Dyrehaven). Find the details on their page.
