Description
The Novo Nordisk Foundation's Global Science Summit Programme 2026 is designed to catalyze science-based solutions to major global challenges by supporting international, interdisciplinary research collaborations. Projects must address intersectional challenges spanning at least two of the following thematic areas: climate change, non-communicable diseases (particularly cardiometabolic diseases), infectious diseases, and enabling technologies. The programme encourages synergistic approaches that integrate diverse perspectives, theories, data, and experimental methods to generate novel outcomes with global impact.
