Frivillighed har været en fast del af mit liv i mange år. Jeg har været aktiv i Ungeklimarådet🌍, talsperson for IDA STEM Students📣, hjulpet til i min basketklub VBBK🏀 og er idag en del af IDA energi og SDG partiet.

Nu vil jeg gerne kanalisere endnu mere af min energi ind i IDA som medlem af repræsentantskabet.

Som en frisk PhD-studerende ingeniør fra elsektoren⚡ bruger jeg det meste af min fritid på læsning, brætspil og basketball i 1. Division. Min kæreste mener, jeg brænder lyset i begge ender, men jeg vil gerne tænde en ekstra flamme på IDAs vegne.

Jeg har tre mærkesager for, hvad IDA skal arbejde for:

1. Studerendes rettigheder og kvalitetsuddannelser 🧑‍🎓

   • Uddannelse er Danmarks guld. Tekniske uddannelser er essentielle for klimakampen. Uanset hvad regeringerne mener, skal vi bruge fakta til at påvirke politikerne. Vi skal have flere penge til undervisere, hjælpelærere og adgang for udenlandske studerende.

2. Samspil mellem uddannelse og industri 👷🧑‍🎓

   • Vi skal fremme samarbejdet mellem industri og uddannelse. Den nyeste viden fra forskningen skal ud i samfundet. Projekter under studietiden skal skabe værdi i virkeligheden.

3. KLIMAKAMP, KLIMAKAMP, KLIMAKAMP 🌍

   • Verden er i opbrud, og vi skal fokusere på den grønne omstilling. Som STEM'er har vi de vigtigste fakta. Vi har et ansvar for at råbe op og påvirke folkestemningen og beslutningstagerne.

Volunteering has been a constant part of my life for many years. I have been active in the Youth Climate Council🌍, spokesperson for IDA STEM Students📣, helped out in my basketball club VBBK🏀, and today I am part of IDA Energy and the SDG party.

Now I want to channel even more of my energy into IDA as a member of the representative council.

As a fresh PhD student engineer from the electrical sector⚡, I spend most of my free time reading, playing board games, and playing basketball in the 1st Division. My partner thinks I am burning the candle at both ends, but I want to light an extra flame on behalf of IDA.

I have three simple priorities for what IDA should work on:

1. Student rights and quality education 🧑‍🎓

   • Education is Denmark's gold. Technical education is essential for battling climate change. Regardless of what governments think, we must use facts to influence politicians. We need more funding for teachers, teaching assistants, and access for international students.

2. Interaction between education and industry 👷🧑‍🎓

   • We must promote collaboration between industry and education. The latest knowledge from research should be brought into our society. Projects during study time should create real-world value.

3. CLIMATE ACTION, CLIMATE ACTION, CLIMATE ACTION 🌍

   • In a world in upheaval, we must maintain focus and awareness of the necessity of the green transition. As STEM professionals, we hold some of the most essential facts about what is needed. We have a responsibility to shout it from the rooftops and influence public opinion and decision-makers.
