The coworking space

DISIE (Danish Institute for Sustainable Entrepreneurship) runs a coworking space for start-ups and NGOs located at Enghavevej 80C, 2450 Copenhagen, close to Enghave Plads. However, we are first and foremost a community of change-makers who root their work in conquering sustainability issues. Our three core pillars are (1) social and environmental innovation, (2) inclusion, and (3) diversity.

Members of the DISIE community can enjoy the freedom that comes with sharing a work environment while also arranging and enjoying initiatives for the community. DISIE thrives on solidarity and every member has access to our facilities in exchange for contributing to a supportive, engaging and pleasant space.

About Thesis Hub

DISIE Thesis Hub is a shared office space available for a small group of students who are writing their master’s thesis within the field of sustainability and innovation.

Our purpose for opening our doors to students is threefold:

To allow passionate and community-minded students to advance their thesis projects by associating with and learning from entrepreneurs within their field of study.
To create a bubbly and diverse atmosphere to foster creativity.
To facilitate strong connections between university students and our corporate members working towards the same goals, aiming for the students to create a network for life after university.

Occupying a seat in our Thesis Hub office is free of charge. Students are however required to run our community café. Our café is the heart of our common room; it is where fresh coffee is served, music is played, and great conversations over the counter take place. It is thus a requirement that you will be able to do at least one shift per week (approx. 3 hours) at the café.

About you:

Your thesis topic aligns with sustainability, environmental and/or social innovation, or something related to the SDG’s.
You are looking forward to being part of and contributing to a supportive group of students and the DISIE community at large and you take this as a commitment (e.g., we expect students to show up most days of the week.
You are comfortable speaking and writing in English (a majority of the DISIE internal communication is in English, as we have many international members). Knowledge of Danish is not a requirement but a plus.
You are excited to dedicate time on your thesis and be a part of the DISIE community for the duration of the writing period (5-6 months).
You are able to spend approx. 3 hours per week running our DISIE café – this will be your responsibility in exchange for a seat in our free coworking space.

We encourage students of all genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, and academic backgrounds to apply. At DISIE we champion an inclusive, safe, diverse, and fun community and thus invite everyone who recognizes themselves in the descriptions and qualities above to apply.
Application deadline: January 16th 2023
Program start: February 1st 2023
