Business PhD in the private and public sector

The Business PhD (Industrial PhD) program is a business-oriented research project carried out through collaboration between a private company or public organization in Denmark, a PhD student, and a university. Innovation Fund Denmark provides co-financing for the company's expenses related to the student's salary and travel activities, as well as the university's project expenses. The program aims to support both Industrial PhD projects within four thematic focus areas (Green research, Life science and health, Critical and digital technologies, and Space Technology) and projects outside these areas. The program lasts 3 years and requires the PhD student to be fully dedicated to the project and education, with the same salary conditions as university-employed PhD students. Both the company and university receive grants to support the project, with specific allocations for salary contributions, travel expenses, supervision, facilities, and course participation.
