Become a jury member or advisor
To cope with the steady increase in participation, Venture Cup regularly seeks new jury members and advisors to join the existing highly committed team of about 100 busy individuals. If you feel your experience could be beneficial to students either as a jury member or advisor, please consider the following information and contact us to hear more.
Please note, all jury members and advisors must sign our non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order to be accepted.
Also, we do not accept individuals employed by Danish universities, as most students get sufficient academic evaluations in their respective courses.
Jury members and advisors are carefully selected volunteers, but are highly appreciated for their efforts, as they provide the backbone of the competition. However, one cannot be a jury member and an advisor at the same time. This helps preserve the integrity of the competition.
