Organisation

DTU Offshore is a public-private partnership organised with a ‘centre core’ of 80 employees and a wide range of external cooperation partners.

The collaborative hub, led by Centre Director Elena Pachkova and consisting of 80 core employees and advisory boards (Steering, Technology, and Scientific), fosters strong collaboration within the offshore network.

The centre is headed by the Centre Director and the Management Team – find their contact details below. 

Besides the Management Team, the centre has three advisory boards: Steering Committee, Technology Application Workgroup, and Scientific Committee.

The boards serve an advisory role, and together provide the basis for strong collaboration among the partners in the network. Each of the three committees have their own unique focus areas.

Steering Committee

The Steering Committee follows the general strategy and development of the centre.
