Examples of results from ongoing collaboration with Corporate Partners

1

Large interdisciplinary research programs with the employment of PhDs and Postdocs

Based on initial workshops and strategic dialogues, several research programs have been initiated. These programs include Industry PhDs and Postdocs, who are employed either at the company or at DTU. The research programs focus on the company’s core challenges, where DTU researchers, PhDs/Postdocs, and company employees work closely together to develop innovative solutions.

2

Site visits and increased awareness of DTU's resources

Through targeted site visits at DTU, companies have had a unique opportunity to explore DTU's wide range of resources and competencies. The visits have provided companies with insights into the many available core facilities, advanced laboratories, and areas of expertise. At the same time, the visits have identified relevant "off-the-shelf solutions" that have already been developed at DTU and can be implemented directly.

3

Networking and 1:1 projects

Through ongoing visits and meetings, networking across the company and researchers is supported, which has led to smaller projects in the form of master’s and thesis projects once the connection between the company and the relevant institute has been established.
