Meet us

By utilising superconducting materials the weight and size of a generator can be halved. This can prove important when wind turbines are enlarged. Today new wind turbines in the sea are constructed with a capacity of 2-3 MW. The DTU project SuperWind wants to develop a generator for wind turbines of 10-20 MW. Microbial fuel cells utilise wastewater and surplus products from the pre-treatment of straw to produce power. Denmark can become the new pioneer country within this field. The only way to reduce the price of solar cells is by using polymer materials in stead of silicon. Risø DTU is developing polymer solar cells. Straw can replace sugar canes and maize in the production of bioethanol. Together with a group of scientists from the University of Copenhagen and DONG Energy’s own research and development department, Risø DTU represent the research base of the project.

The research of Risø is to benefit society, and the only way to achieve this aim is by joining forces with our surroundings. As mutual acquaintance is important, we always welcome applications concerning visits, events, study visits etc. Find what suits you below or contact us.

Research co-operation 
Co-operation with Risø can help create new products or optimise production in both newly established and existing businesses. Your business can improve its potential for growth and competitiveness through collaboration with Risø. Read more

Workshops for companies
We arrange one-day workshops creating new possibilities for companies to solve their problems about production, achieve product improvements and develop new products in order to improve the market situation. The scientists working in the workshops have interdisciplinary competences and ideas for solutions. The company participates with key figures from the management, product development, production and sales. Read more.

Continuing education
We tailor interdisciplinary continuing education according to the wishes and needs of your company. New knowledge about materials, surface treaments and design are some of the possibilities. Advanced lighting technology. Or maybe medical measuring equipment. Your company decides, we arrange and carry out. Read more.

We also offer a number of courses, seminars, conferences and lectures within the fields of our competences, see the calendar.

Company excursion
We can make up a programme, according to your wishes and needs, if your company are going on an excursion. We can take your employees on an exciting and entertaining journey of time into the technological future. Contact Chief Consultant Leif Sønderberg Petersen, phone 46 77 40 21, lepe@risoe.dtu.dk

Projects
We offer students interested in research and development the possibility of making projects at Risø. You will be solving problems related to research in connection with a relevant project. Our research enables us to offer projects within the fields of innovation, material research, polymers, plant research, systems analysis and optics and plasma research. These subjects may give you ideas for a specially studied subject, a master thesis or a semester project, a work experience stay, a bachelor project or a summer job. Read more.

Educational fair
If you want to know more about what Risø can do for your career visit us at one of the educational fairs. It is advertised in the calendar, but you can also enrol our news mail for students and become informed directly about the next arrangement.

Organizations, associations and clubs
If you are at least ten persons you are welcome to visit Risø and we will find an individual agreement. The visit takes place in Risø Visitor Centre, and a communication employee will tell about Risø and about the research of Risø. Read more.

Pupils
At present we do not have any special offers to pupils from folkeskole, gymnasium, college of education, technical schools etc., but you can always contact us. We would like to receive your class and talk about the energy of the future or about the technology for diagnosis and for cure of diseases. Read more.

High Schools can book a roadshow about fusion and plasma. Read more

Work experience
We receive young people, who want to have their work experience here. In order to treat the applications the best way possible, we have made a form, you have to fill in. See the form here
