ErhvervsPhD-projekter i den offentlige sektor

26. marts 2012 af Lisbeth Heilesen

A special DKK 10 million grant for industrial PhD projects in the public sector has been made available in 2012.
The purpose of an Industrial PhD in the public sector is:

To support the possibilities of improving the sector through targeted and practice-oriented research projects.

To train researcher scientist with knowledge about the relevance of research and development in the public sector.

To encourage the building of knowledge-sharing networks between the public organisations and the research institutions.

A project where a public research institution employs the candidate and accordingly functions as the host company must not fall within the institution’s established research activity fields. As an example and particularly relevant to the health sector, including hospitals, the programme can include research on organisation, working procedures etc. However, projects in the fields of general medical and health science cannot obtain subsidy, since these fields are covered by the health care sector’s regular PhD programmes.

The deadline for submission of application is September 5th 2012 at 12:00.
