News on industrial PhD schemes

Company opportunity: More finances and flexibility for industrial PhD schemes

05/11/2009

Good news for companies and universities which wish to engage in an industrial PhD scheme. Starting 1 January this year, the scheme has become more financially attractive, as public financial support for the industrial PhD scheme has been raised to a current level of DKK 14,500 per month. This means that from now on companies will be able to receive up to DKK 552,000 over a period of three years towards providing salary for an industrial PhD student.

Also, it has now become possible for companies to submit applications for financial support to an industrial PhD scheme without a named candidate. This means that companies may now apply for support for a given project description, and subsequently look for a suitable PhD candidate. This allows companies to make coordinated and long-term plans for potential research projects.

An industrial PhD is a 3-year engagement with one person who will deliver a PhD project in close collaboration with CBS and the respective company. Companies’ participation is motivated by having a committed researcher to collaborate with the company on projects they are already committed to do.
