Unigma Leadership (volunteer position)

Currently, knowledge about new technologies and digitalization are gathered in silos at the technical universities. We think that is a shame. We are students and recent graduates who connect and inspire university student through our content and platform - www.unigma.org

Details of the Unigma Leadership Team

Team size: 5-10

Period: August – July. If you can only do less time just let us know

Meeting: weekly

Time commitment: 2-4 hours/week

To summarize it, Unigma

is an online platform that shares a melange of news, insights and ideas on digitalization and technology from (surprisingly) different perspectives with ALL university students. Hereby we, the students, benefit from each other’s skills and become better prepared to handle the complex challenges we are facing. All students need to have access to understanding and nuances of technology in order to take part in implementing it in a responsible way. We believe this crossdisciplinarity is the key for sustainable innovation.

The articles are written or edited by students. That means that some of the content comes from the contributors themselves while other articles and videos are made by students.

Testimonial from a previous volunteer in Station

"Station is a powerhouse of dynamic individuals working towards excellence. The events I got to organize while being a community builder have taught me so much about what goes into running an organization and tackling interdisciplinarity. What added a cherry of top is meeting amazing volunteers and developing a bond with them" - Sharayu from DTU, 2020 - 2021
