DNV Summer Project 2027

Location: Oslo, Norway; Hybrid

Since 2008, DNV has hosted the DNV Summer Project, bringing together talented master students from different academic backgrounds to explore complex challenges with real-world relevance. 

For our 2027 Summer Project, we will once again welcome eight masters students entering the final year of their studies to explore how technological change is transforming organisations, careers, and workplaces, and what it means for companies like DNV.

Scope: How will the interaction between AI-native talent and established organisations shape the future of work? 

Todays students can complete much of their education with AI as a constant companion, helping them learn, analyse, write, code and solve problems. As this generation enters the workforce, organisations face fundamental questions: 

• How will AI change what skills are valuable? 
• How should companies recruit and develop future talent? 
• How will leadership, organisational structures and ways of working evolve? 
• What can established organisations learn from companies that have been built around AI from day one? 
   

To answer these questions, you will combine research, interviews and analysis, engaging with experts across DNV as well as external organisations, start-ups, universities and industry leaders. 

In DNV, we believe these questions will shape the future of work over the coming decade.

What will you deliver:

The objective of the project is not to understand AI itself, but to understand how AI is changing organisations, people and work. 

During your time at DNV you will develop insights and recommendations that can help DNV prepare for the future workforce and the changing demands of an increasingly AI-driven world. 

Your work may include: 

• Identifying implications for recruitment, competence development and workforce planning 
• Exploring how organisational structures and ways of working may evolve 
• Developing future scenarios for how work could change over the coming decade 
• Assessing what established organisations can learn from AI-native organisations 
• Providing recommendations to help DNV remain attractive, effective and competitive in the future 
   

The results will be presented to the whole company, including senior leaders and contribute to discussions about DNVs future workforce, organisation and ways of working.
