The team is the driving force and coordinating function behind a range of exciting activities and events that aim to inspire young people to explore the many facets of engineering. The team targets both Danish and international audiences by visiting educational institutions and education fairs in both Denmark and abroad and by organising a wide range of campus visits.

With a strong focus on innovation and creativity, the team works to nuance the view of the engineering profession. They show how engineering programmes open doors to a wide range of career opportunities, from technological development to sustainable solutions and much more. Through targeted communication and engaging events, they spread knowledge about the myriad of engineering programmes.

The Ambassador Corps, made up of engineering students, plays a crucial role in the team's work. They deliver professional workshops and act as role models and public faces, making them an important part of recruitment efforts.
