Engineers Without Borders

Engineers without Borders (EWB) Denmark is a not-for-profit humanitarian organization committed to assisting disaster-affected persons and communities in quickly returning to "life after survival", through providing technical support for life saving measures such as clean drinking water, proper sanitation, and safe housing.

Established in 2001, EWB-Denmark has over 400 members and an emergency response roster of experienced engineers with the specialist skills and relevant overseas experience needed to mobilize immediately in the event of a major disaster.

Student-related activities are carried out at EWB-Students chapters at four locations in Denmark: Copenhagen (Technical University of Denmark), Aalborg (Aalborg University), Århus (Engineering College of Århus) and Odense (University of Southern Denmark).

Our current members and our future target members are research and teaching staff, students (Ph.D., Master, Bachelor), and are working and studying in a wide variety of fields, both technical and non-technical.

Our mission is:

  • To give students the opportunity to contribute with their engineering skills in humanitarian and development assistance;
  • To expand their professional competences;
  • To facilitate cooperation between students, aid organizations and companies;
  • To disseminate knowledge about Engineers Without Borders in order to strengthen its activities;
  • To promote education activities relating to humanitarian and development engineering assistance at higher education institutes.
