The Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded almost DKK 82 million to Aarhus University towards establishing a new national interdisciplinary talent and continuing education programme that will act as an incubator for tomorrow’s entrepreneurs and creative leaders within healthcare technology and contribute to generating more start-ups.
The BioMedical Design – Novo Nordisk Foundation Fellowship Programme, based at Aarhus University and the University of Copenhagen, will accept 16 creative and talented applicants annually from Denmark and abroad.
