Tuesday, 22nd April 2025, 13:00-18:00 followed by dinner and networking.
Theme of Impact Conference 2025
With theme “For a Better World”, Impact Conference 2025 will showcase how you can use a career in engineering and science to address some of the world’s most urgent and overlooked challenges. By exploring topics like Alternative Protein, AI Safety, Sustainability, and Effective Altruism, the event inspires students to harness their skills for positive change.
Explore the topics
Alternative protein
Developing protein sources from plants, fungi, or lab-grown tissue, to offer food options with lower impact on the environment and the wellbeing of animals.
AI safety
Ensuring artificial intelligence systems are developed responsibly and operate reliably without causing harm.
Global Health
Improving health outcomes and healthcare infrastructure worldwide through international collaboration and equitable, evidence-based initiatives.
Sustainability
Meeting our current needs while preserving the environment and opportunities for future generations.
Social Data Science
Harnessing computational methods to better understand social challenges and inform evidence-based policy.
Effective altruism
Applying evidence and reason to guide actions that yield the greatest benefits and reduce suffering.
Meet the speakers
Axel Højmark
AI safety researcher @ Apollo Research

Impact Conference 2025 kicks off
Glassalen, Building 101, DTU LyngbyEngage with your fellow students and impact-oriented innovators.
Welcome & Opening Keynote
Sune Lehmann, Professor of Complextity and Network Science at DTU and Affiliate Professor at the University of Copenhagen Center for Social Data Science, demonstrates how language models and methods from deep learning can be applied to predict individual outcomes such as mortality and personality traits based on life-events embedded in vector space.
Session: AI Safety
AI is set to transform our world. How do we ensure this happens safely? Karina Knudsen from Machine Learning Safety Denmark will introduce AI Safety and how you can contribute to it with your career. Axel Højmark, Research Engineer at the AI Safety organization Apollo Research, will present his work with developing evaluations to identify deceptive behaviors in AI models.
Workshop: SELF framework
In this workshop, you will get hands-on experience with the SELF framework, which offers four simple steps for evaluating career options, both in terms of impact and personal fit.
Talk: Engineering World Health
Hear from volunteer engineers at Engineering World Health DTU, a student chapter dedicated to bringing life-saving equipment to resource-poor hospitals across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Talk: The Alt Protein Project
The Alt Protein Project is a global student movement dedicated to growing universities into hubs for alternative protein. Discover how alternative protein sources can enable a food industry with less impact on the environment and animal welfare, and how we as engineers and scientists can contribute to it.
Talk: DTU Earthbound
At DTU Earthbound, we are scientists, students and entrepreneurs, who catalyse deep tech science into startups that fight climate change.
Closing Keynote
Jonas Søvik is a group organizer at Effective Altruism Denmark. Effective Altruism is a network and research field that aims to find the best ways to help others and put them into practice. Jonas will explain why our careers are one of our most important resources in bringing about a better world and how we can become better at doing good.
Dinner & Networking
Enjoy a vegan dinner with your fellow student change-makers and impact-oriented innovators.
