Get an EWB-DK mail

An IUG mail account is a must. With this, you can access our joint drives and communicate with other IUG members.

Send an email to info@iug.dk and get your personal mail account.

Sign up for a thematic network

Our volunteers are organized in thematic networks. In the thematic networks, our projects arise and develop based on idea generation and professional sparring between the technical professionals.

Pick the network that fits your interests and competencies. Join meetings, learn about projects under development and implementation, and contribute with your competencies wherever you want to join.

Contact the secretariat if you have questions or wish to become part of one of our thematic networks: info@iug.dk 

We work to improve living conditions in some of the world's poorest countries

The five thematic areas

Engineers Without Borders is a technical-humanitarian organisation, run by volunteer Danish engineers and subject specialists. We work to create sustainable solutions and improve the living conditions for vulnerable population groups worldwide.

We work from five thematic areas and our projects range widely.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)

Water is essential for sustainable development. Water resources are a source of food production, energy and central to health.

Sustainable Energy

IUG’s projects with sustainable energy contribute to solutions that ensure stable electricity supply and contribute to the development of local communities.

Waste management

IUG’s waste projects contribute to solving some of the world’s waste problems, which stand in the way of community development and the health of the local population.

Information, communication & technology

The network acts as a supplier of ICT solutions to the other thematic networks regarding data collection and processing.

Building & Construction

IUG has great competences in the construction and renovation of health clinics, schools, business hubs, SOS Children’s Villages, etc.
