About GreenLab Research Platform and DTU Hub Fredericia

A significant part of your work will be tied to two initiatives where DTU collaborates closely with external actors. GreenLab Research Platform creates frameworks for research and innovation around future integrated energy and industrial systems. Here, researchers work with companies and other universities on issues related to, among other things, energy systems, sector coupling, industrial symbiosis and the green transition.

DTU Hub Fredericia is a platform to create stronger connections between DTU’s research and companies and organizations in the area. Here you will contribute to translating dialogue between researchers and external actors into concrete activities and collaborations.

You will play a central role in supporting collaborations and ensuring that activities and projects develop in partnership with the involved parties. You will work closely with the responsible project manager.
