PREFACE

This DTU’s Work Culture pamphlet is for all DTU employees. Our work culture is defined by the values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviours, and attitudes held by our employees. The pamphlet describes the basis of our work culture. It explains what an employee can expect from DTU, and what is expected from you as an employee.

DTU’s work culture is driven by our strategic objective to rank amongst the top five technical universities in Europe in research, education, innovation, and consultancy. To achieve this ambition, it is crucial that we are able to attract and retain the best employees. All employees must contribute to making DTU an attractive work place, fostering well-being and professional curiosity. Talent must be cultivated at all levels; at DTU, employees and management have a joint responsibility for on-going employee development.

In addition to this DTU’s Work Culture pamphlet, employees can obtain more information on working life at DTU from the Employee Guide (see DTU Inside). It contains information on employment conditions, guidelines on your working life at DTU, your responsibilities under the code of conduct on research integrity, DTU employee policies, and an overview of the services and options available to you as a DTU employee.
