Built by students, for students
The IDA Student Network (IDA-SN) is a student-driven network that connects students across Danish universities who are interested in astronomy, astrophysics and space science.
The network provides a national platform for students to meet, exchange knowledge, organize activities and develop collaborations across universities.
Students interested in astronomy and space science are spread across the IDA consortium including KU, DTU, AU and SDU. While many student initiatives already exist locally, there are relatively few opportunities for students to connect and collaborate on a national level. IDA-SN aims to bridge this gap.
The network brings together students from different universities and backgrounds and creates opportunities for student-led workshop, outreach, networking and cross-university projects.
The annual Danish Astronomy Meeting (ADAM) provides a natural meeting point for the Danish astrophysics and space-science community and plays an important role in bringing students together.
As part of IDA-SN, students can take part in activities organized across the Danish university community.
Students can propose and participate in activities such as:
The network is intended to give students the opportunity to share their knowledge and interests with peers from other universities.
IDA Student Network also supports activities that connect students with the wider community, including:
These activities give students an opportunity to develop leadership and organizational experience while contributing to the Danish astronomy and space-science community.

IDA-SN is open to students with an interest in astronomy, astrophysics and space science.
You can participate whether you are studying:
You do not need to be studying astrophysics specifically. Students from different technical and scientific backgrounds are encouraged to participate and contribute their own interests and expertise.
IDA-SN is coordinated by a Student Committee consisting of up to 10 students representing universities across Denmark.
The committee:
The committee has two co-chairs, who coordinate the committee and act as liaisons with the IDA Board. This structure is intended to ensure both student leadership and continuity within the network.
There are several ways to participate in IDA-SN.
