Network

Sometimes the best way to learn is from people who share your interests. PROSA's networks bring IT professionals together to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and explore specialist topics.

Our networks cover everything from Linux, cyber security, and programming to working life, life after retirement, and other topics that matter to our members. Some groups have been meeting regularly for years, while others come together for a shorter period to focus on a specific technology or challenge.

You don't need to be an expert to take part. Curiosity, an interest in the topic, and a willingness to share knowledge are all you need.

Find a network

There are different types of networks connected to PROSA. Some are official PROSA networks run by members, while others are independent professional communities organised by PROSA members that meet in our facilities.

What they all have in common is a shared passion for technology, professional development, and connecting people with similar interests.

On this page, you can explore our current networks, learn what they focus on, where they meet, and how to get involved.

Start a new network

Do you have an idea for a new network?

Maybe you're looking for a place to dive into a specific technology. Maybe you'd like to meet others working on the same challenges as you. Or perhaps you have an idea for a professional community that doesn't exist yet.

We're here to help you get started.

PROSA can support you with meeting facilities, promotion, and practical guidance. Depending on the type of network and how it is connected to PROSA, we may also be able to help you find speakers and promote your events through PROSA's course and events calendar.

How to start a network

The first step is simply having an idea of what you want to bring people together around. You don't need to have a full year's programme planned or know everyone who might join.

Think about:

  • What topic will bring the network together?

  • Who would you like to connect with?

  • Will the network meet once or on a regular basis?

  • What could the first meeting be about?

Once you have an idea, get in touch with PROSA and we'll explore the possibilities together and help you take the next step.

Great networks

Hear from our networks

I've been part of this group for 10 to 12 years, with different people coming and going. We've had a range of training sessions with both internal and external speakers. Most of the time, though, we geek out over IT, electronics, and mechanics while enjoying each other's company. (TRANSLATED)

The best thing about being active in PROSA is meeting like minded people and developing your skills in a relaxed and welcoming environment. (TRANSLATED)

Erik Skytthe, NixOS Network

Our senior events are a great way to stay in touch with old friends and colleagues. We make time for IT related topics, trade union issues, and social activities, helping to maintain a community that many people continue to value long after their working lives. (TRANSLATED)

Erik Swiatek and Peter Gulstad, PROSA Senior Committee

I PROSAs lokaler har vi igennem de seneste 10+ år bygget et netværk op omkring funktionel programmering. Formatet er en talk, mingling før og efter, og for det meste ender vi på Ørsted Ølbar. Lokalerne er indbydende, ligger centralt og har udstyr, der virker hver gang.

Women4Cyber Denmark is about more than cyber security. It's about building a community where we share knowledge, support one another, and make it easier for more people to take the next step in their cyber security careers. (TRANSLATED)

Electronics and Mechanics

The Electronics and Mechanics Network brings together anyone interested in design, electronics, mechanics, 3D printing, programming, Arduino, and related technologies. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced makers, children to retirees. Join us for sandwiches, great company, and plenty of hands on geekery. We usually meet in Copenhagen, but members take part from across Denmark. Meetings are held every other Tuesday in odd numbered weeks.

Linux Network

Join PROSA's Linux Network. We usually meet on the last Thursday of each month to share our interest in Linux. Whether you're completely new to Linux or an experienced user, you're welcome to join. Whenever possible, we begin with a member presentation, followed by time to work on personal projects, exchange knowledge, help each other solve problems, or enjoy a good technical discussion.

Contact: Louis Tim Larsen

Functional Programming Copenhagen

We are a community of functional programming enthusiasts, beginners, professionals, and researchers. Our goal is to encourage more software projects based on functional programming languages. We focus mainly on strongly typed languages such as F#, Scala, OCaml, and Haskell, while also exploring languages including Lisp, Erlang, Clojure, and Elixir. We meet at least 12 times a year to share knowledge and experiences.

Coding Pirates

Coding Pirates PROSA International is the newest local Coding Pirates chapter and the first in Denmark to operate entirely in English.

Hosted by PROSA and supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, many of whom are PROSA members, the chapter gives children and young people the opportunity to explore coding through creativity, play, and collaboration.

About the chapter

  • Language: All activities are conducted in English.

  • Capacity: 20 to 30 children, with approximately one volunteer for every two to three participants.

  • Age group: Primarily 10 to 17 years, with flexibility depending on the individual child.

  • When: See the Coding Pirates website for current meeting days and times:https://codingpirates.dk/afdelinger/

  • Focus: Activities vary by season and may include basic programming concepts, game development, robotics, and many other technology topics.

Why PROSA International?
This is the first Coding Pirates chapter in Denmark created specifically for English speaking children, whether they are Danish or from international families. The aim is to give expat families a welcoming place where children can learn coding while making friends and becoming part of a supportive community.

At PROSA International, coding is about much more than technology. It's about creativity, collaboration, and exploring new ideas together.

How to join

Parents need to create a profile on the Coding Pirates website and add their child to the waiting list.
