We are happy to announce that 10 dedicated and ambitous students will work on the DNV summer project this year. We interviewed many talented candidates, so we had quite a challenge to put together the team! Now we are looking forward to meeting the group and follow them in the project this summer.

The ten students who participate on the project: "LNG - Short Sea Shipping". From left above: Eivind Johansen, Katja Thonäng, Kristine Hovland, Andreas Løken, and Tiril Thomassen. From left below: Eyamba Ita, Harald Gundersen, Jørgen Trømborg, Ellen Ueland and Torstein Skår.

DNV summer project: 6 weeks of intense and hard, but fun work
We are continually looking for skilled, committed employees who wants to be involved in developing the DNV and maintain our social position. We also need young talent that can bring us innovation and new thinking. Every summer we therefore invite 10 to 14 4th years' master students to participate to solve a current project. The project theme is related to areas DNV participates in. The project framework is defined, but the students decide themselves how to solve the task.

DNV acknowledge the value of having employees who represent different cultures (98 nationalities) and disciplines. We look for students with different academic backgrounds from universities in Norway and abroad. We have learnt that the combination of different skills and cultural background is inspiring for project participants and provide greater knowledge.
