Description
PREPARE is a Novo Nordisk Foundation programme for developing university education in the Danish Realm. It gives science and engineering teachers resources to put new educational ideas into practice and prepare students to address complex societal problems. Proposed activities primarily target bachelor’s and master’s students in natural, technical and health sciences, in fields aligned with the Foundation’s strategic key themes.
The programme supports digital approaches to education, research infrastructure for hands-on learning, and upgrades to educational content and methods. Projects may benefit one university or be developed jointly by universities. The Foundation assesses their novelty and quality, potential impact, plans for execution and evaluation, institutional environment and collaboration, and the applicants’ qualifications.
