DTU recently welcomed 20 highly talented researchers who have been granted a H.C. Ørsted COFUND postdoc fellowship. The 20 researchers come from all over the world and will spend the next two years at the University advancing their scientific career.
By Stine Work Brodersen and Vibeke Hempler
The original H.C. Ørsted postdoc programme was launched in 2004 and given to young, talented researchers from abroad. Co-funding by the European Union’s Marie Curie Actions has enabled DTU to uphold both the number and the duration of granted fellowships in 2015.
No fewer than 183 applicants applied. After a thorough review process, where the applications were subjected to external international peer review based on a set of predefined criteria, DTU has selected 20 promising researchers who have shown great potential in their respective field of research. The fellows represent 13 different nationalities, and will carry out research within an extensive range of academic fields.
