Danish Young Acousticians Network (DYAN)

What is the Danish Young Acousticians Network?

The Danish Young Acousticians Network (DYAN) is a non-profit initiative within the Danish Acoustical Society (DAS), to facilitate young acousticians, including students, and researchers in Denmark concerning acoustics, for example, to advise on relevant projects.

We organize events at conferences and provide not-for-profit services that contribute to the acoustics community. These services include the DYAN section on the DAS website, a monthly newsletter and many communication channels to enable networking.

The DYAN is addressed to any early-career acoustician (Bachelor, Master, PhDs and Postdocs) in or from Denmark, including early-career consultants and engineers.

What is the aim of the DYAN?

The DYAN aims to establish a community for young researchers, students, and professionals from all research (public and private) consultancy-based organizations in Denmark; to connect them; to provide support for relevant issues as needed.

DYAN’s mission statement is, “To connect and support all young Danish acousticians, including students, researchers and professionals, and strengthen their network, and provide any help they may need, for example, advise on research projects, research supervisions and consultancy, help connect with other fellow acousticians (seniors, juniors) in Denmark and abroad.”

What can DYAN do for young researchers and professionals as well as students?

DYAN organizes student events at scientific conferences, which provides an excellent opportunity to get in touch with other people working in Acoustics
We maintain a mailing list to provide information to members on important subjects. Here, you can get information about student awards and grants, offers of internships and, of course, information concerning DYAN activities and a monthly newsletter, including, e.g., job postings, conference and other important event deadlines
DYAN aims to create a discussion forum on LinkedIn and Twitter, and we are also on social networks. This allows sharing your ideas with other young acousticians, and discusses matters such as technical questions, work opportunities and much more.
DYAN has active e-mail support! If you have questions, you are welcome to contact us, and we will try to answer your question and/or provide the contact details of the best person(s) to assist you.

Why should you become a member of the DYAN?

When you register, you have the option to provide some information about yourself (fields of interest, languages, etc.). Gathering and providing information such as this enables us to provide you with information specific to your interests and to put you in touch with others in your fields of interest. Membership is also necessary to reduce the likelihood of site misuse and spam.
