DNUS attended the 2025 SOL Foundation Symposium in Italy, 25-27 Oct.
“It was a great opportunity to meet old friends and to establish new relations within the international scientific UAP community. At the symposium, we successfully facilitated contact between scientists based in Denmark and abroad. We plan to invite some of the attending scholars to give talks in Denmark in the future.”
Frederik Uldall, Director of DNUS

About us
Founded on a shared passion for the emerging field of scholarly UAP research.
Considering the growing international political engagement related to UAP, it has become apparent that the scientific community in Denmark is not casting sufficient light on the subject.
Therefore, we bring together and inspire scientists and students from all academic fields in Denmark: the natural-, social-, and medical sciences, as well as the humanities and business studies.
DNUS is not affiliated with any universities, companies, or other organizations.

new research projects
UAP science abroad
Several academic UAP research projects have been launched around the world. There is a growing number of scientists who wish to apply the scientific method with better data.
The SOL Foundation
Led by Professor Garry Nolan et al.
Non-profit organization focused on applying rigorous scientific methodology to UAP research. Notable for hosting symposiums in San Francisco in 2023 and 2024. Close ties to Stanford University. Website – Youtube.
.
The Gallieo Project at Harvard
Led by Professor Avi Loeb.
Uses advanced astronomical equipment to search for extraterrestrial technological signatures. Employs multi-sensor observation systems. Focuses on gathering systematic scientific data of UAP and potential extraterrestrial artifacts.
Website – Youtube.
Loeb gave a talk at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen on Aug. 27, 2025:
“New Insights on Black Holes, Cosmology and Aliens”. Download more info. Zoom link. Article on Medium.
NASA’s Independent Study Team
Established in 2022 to provide a roadmap for NASA’s scientific study of UAP. Focused on collecting and analyzing data from civilian & government entities and commercial data. Aims to destigmatize UAP reporting in the aviation community. NASA UAP – Final Report Press Event.
Political engagement
There is growing bi-partisan political awareness in the United States pertaining to UAP.
– 5 congressional UAP hearings/briefing 2023-25
– Whistleblower testimonies under oath
– Passed and proposed UAP legislation
– Focus on transparency, aviation safety, oversight, overclassification, and whistleblower protection
– Oversight Committee establishes: Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.
Watch hearing – 19. Nov. 2024.
Watch hearing – 13. Nov. 2024.
Watch hearing – 26. Jul. 2023.
Emerging interest in UAP in the EU
Meeting:

We value
Rigorous cross-disciplinary academic research in UAP and related fields with the scientific method.
Critical and respectful dialogue
We strive to facilitate open, critical, and friendly discussions between already established scholarly disciplines, which can contribute to a better understanding of UAP and related societal implications.
Partnerships
We wish to establish and promote partnerships between scientific organizations, universities, research foundations, in Denmark to help improve data collection, data dissemination and research of UAP and related societal implications.
Events
Our vision is to host scientific networking events, including academic presentations, to augment communication within the scientific community in Denmark.

Yoav Tirosh, PhD
Member of Advisory Board
Yoav Tirosh is an MSCA (Marie Curie) fellow in the Department of Scandinavian Studies and Experience Economy at Aarhus University. His doctoral thesis was focused on the philological debate surrounding a particular medieval Icelandic saga, but in general he has written on disability, gender, sexuality, genre, collective memory and, curiously, milk. His current project is concerned with issues of trauma in late medieval literature and history. He also makes what he defines as “the funniest comics in the world”, which can be found in most SoMe platforms under the handle @RealMundiRiki. His recent book is: How Genre Governs Creation in the Medieval Icelandic Sagas published by Palgrave-Macmillan’s The New Middle Ages series.
