We are excited to announce five new PhD scholarships awarded in partnership with Danish Data Science Academy. These scholarships support interdisciplinary research that bridges the Danish data science environment with the Danish diabetes and classical endocrinology research environment.
“A grant by the Danish Data Science Academy and the Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy will make it possible for me to work within the interdisciplinary field of data science and diabetes, says cross-academy grant recipient, Amalie Koch Andersen, who is MSc in Biomedical Engineering and Informatics at Aalborg University.
It is the first time that the two academies are working together to co-fund grants.
“We are excited about our first collaboration with DDSA, as it opens up new avenues for research within diabetes and classical endocrinology. Integrating data science with diabetes and classical endocrinology research can lead to more precise, efficient, and innovative approaches to understanding and treating these conditions, ultimately benefiting both scientific communities and patient care,” says Tore Christiansen, Managing Director of DDEA .
The scholarships are part of a larger collaborative effort between Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy, Danish Cardiovascular Academy, and Danish Data Science Academy. The aim of all three academies is to support early-career researchers through grants, education and networking activities.
“The Cross-Academy scholarships mark is a big step forward in our collaborative efforts with the Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy and the Danish Cardiovascular Academy. By co-funding these, we not only help the integration of data science with critical biomedical research but also nurture a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers. The investment in these scholarships is motivated by the importance of cross-sectoral partnerships in driving innovation and addressing complex health challenges as emphasized by our common founder: Novo Nordisk Foundation,” says Professor Lars Kai Hansen, Chair of DDSA Board of Directors.
