Dear Students and Naval Colleagues,

On behalf of the Royal Danish Naval Academy, we are pleased to extend to you this invitation for the 2nd annual Danish Student Conference for Engineering and Naval Technology (DaSCENT). The conference will take place on the 16th-18th of June 2025 at the Danish Defence College in Copenhagen.

DaSCENT aims to bring together civilian and military STEM students in order to share knowledge, experience and ideas while fostering new relations. The goal is to create a framework to discuss current and future defense technologies, present new ideas and network with like-minded individuals.

The theme for DaSCENT 2025 is:

“Cyber Warfare, Drones, Ethics & Automation: The Complexity of Modern Warfare”

The conference will feature presentations by experts from the Defense Industry, Academia and Navy. During the conference, you will be divided into moderated groups to discuss aspects of the theme, finishing with a presentation on the final day. Throughout the conference there will be social and networking activities.

During the conference, a Poster session will also be held. Here students have the opportunity to showcase interesting projects they have worked on or currently are working on. The topic does not need to fit the theme of the conference, the idea is just to spark conversation. It is voluntary to present a project at the Poster session, but we encourage it.

To participate in the conference please register using the following link: events.fak.dk/dascent2025. Registration will close Friday the 30th of May.

Unfortunately we are not able to provide lodging, but if you need assistance with accommodation, please note so in the registration link and we will do our best to help.

If you would like to participate as a faculty mentor, please also note in the registration, so we can reach out to discuss opportunities and arrangements.

You can stay updated with the event at www.fak.dk/da/arrangementer.

Feel free to reach out to the DaSCENT Planning Staff at dascent@fak.dk, should you have any questions or concerns.

We hope to see you at DaSCENT 2025.
