Industrial PhD Programme

An Industrial PhD is a three-year industrially focused research project and PhD education which is carried out in collaboration between a private or public sector company, an Industrial PhD candidate and a university. The Industrial PhD is a part of Innovation Fund Denmark which is an independent fund at the Ministry of Higher Education and Science that invests in strategic research, high technology and innovation.

• An Industrial PhD student is employed in a private or public sector company and enrolled at the university.
• The private or public sector company applies for funding from Innovation Fund Denmark for the project, and the student is hired by the company and receives a wage during the entire Industrial PhD project.
• The student shares her/his working time between the company and the university, and spends all the work time on the Industrial PhD project.
