The evening will provide students with insights into the refrigeration and heat pump sector, where three engineers from different parts of the industry will talk about their work with the technology. This will be complemented by insights into the transition from DTU students to engineers in the industry.

Following that, Jonas Kjær Nielsen, Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Technology will share ideas and inspiration for courses at DTU that are relevant to the refrigeration and heat pump industry. Finally, there will be a presentation from a PhD student who will introduce her current project at DTU.
