Working at CONCITO
CONCITO is Denmark's leading climate think tank with 60 dedicated employees working to bring new climate knowledge to bear on decision-makers and opinion-leaders.
A large grant from the Velux Foundation has given us even better conditions for this and led to a number of new programs and activities.
As an independent think tank, we are in dialogue with many different parties both in Denmark and internationally. By bringing stakeholders together, we try to bridge the gap between knowledge and policy. We use our climate voice to point to the most important solutions in the green transition.
We love to be climate nerds and we have high expectations when we analyze the climate challenge. We like to share our knowledge and help each other become even better at finding the future solutions for our climate
And we have fun too - in everyday life and at parties.
CONCITO comes from Latin and means "I set in motion", which has been our mantra since its inception in 2008.
We live in central Copenhagen, in Læderstræde 20, which is a shared office with other organizations that also work for climate and the environment.

We love to be climate nerds and have high expectations when we analyze climate solutions - both in a Danish and international context.

Tage Duer, Project Manager in the Climate Laboratory
CONCITO is like going to work in a waterfall. You are in a flood of energy and good ideas that are always rushing.
Read Tage's story
I work on Future Land use, a project that cuts across the many disciplines of the house. It sparks many conversations, and all points of view are valid. I like the variety of immersion and the informal professional sparring with colleagues. It creates momentum and gives me focus.
The structure is quite flat; we share a lot and help each other. 'Care' doesn't take up much space. We work with a framework that gives direction, and then, of course, we have a method that ensures a high degree of systematicity and seriousness in the analytical work.
We are a very energetic and enterprising place. Everything is driven by good ideas, and everything happens because someone sees a need for it to happen - and the good ideas make a big difference because they bring us close to the solutions. Everyone is very dedicated to the tasks, and we are here to make a difference.
In CONCITO, no one is above anyone else. There is a healthy assumption that people are interested in each other and want to achieve something together. So we're not just the sum of a lot of years' work, but a lot of people going to work together. The atmosphere is unpretentious, we laugh a lot, and actually, the social occasions are taken very seriously because they unite everything that's going on.
