The overall purpose of YWPDK is to provide a free of charge and non-profit networking platform for young and new water professionals in the Danish water sector. We focus on professional networking, knowledge sharing, skills development, exploring new trends and international collaboration. YWP Denmark is a group of students and professionals ranging from social, natural, and engineering, policy makers, scholars, practitioners, Danish, and internationals. We have more than 500 members across Denmark. We are embedded and an active part of the water sector through partnerships and collaboration with various Danish stakeholders. We are also an official part of the International Water Association.
The Country Chapter Steering Committee (CCSC) is in charge of the overall development, management and maintenance of the network. The CCSC currently has five members with different responsibilities and assignments. The members are elected on the general assembly held at the YWPDK conference in the beginning of each year. Each member holds individual responsibility areas. The YWPDK network have regional representatives (RR) to help the CCSC maintain the link between to the local members and plan local events. To contact the CCSC please send us an e-mail on info@ywp.dk.
