Scientific project
The scientific projects will be 5 independent projects in 5 independent start-up companies in Silicon Valley.
The scientific projects will be designed to fit a 5-month period and will all include scientific content and research at, at least, Master level.
The projects will all be designed to accommodate the Danish universities’ requirements for 30 ECTS points company/research project. All projects will have a life science/health focus, but can be in very different areas – and the requirements/skills of the companies’ desired candidate can vary, too. It is the students own responsibility to get approval of credits, neither the Fellowship Program nor the Novo Nordisk Foundation can be involved in obtaining academic credit.
