Description
The Novo Nordisk Foundation supports early-career researchers undertaking interdisciplinary projects with a research group at Uppsala University. The programme welcomes fundamental studies and innovative projects across natural and technical sciences, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Projects must have potential impact on human health or sustainability, and applicants must clearly explain those potential applications.
The three-year fellowship places researchers at Uppsala University for the first two years, followed by a return phase of up to one year at a Danish university or other Danish public or non-profit research institution. It aims to develop outstanding early-stage researchers through international research experience and interdisciplinary training, strengthen scientific independence and networks through mobility, and support continued collaboration and knowledge transfer between Uppsala University and the Danish research ecosystem.
