Industrial Researcher Committee

We use artificial intelligence (AI) to translate the content on our website. This web page has been machine translated. If there are any uncertainties, please refer to the Danish text.

The Business Research Committee has appointed the Innovation Fund's Board of Directors for the purpose of making professional assessments and making recommendations for decision in connection with applications received for the Business Research Program.

 

The criterion for being appointed to the committee is that the member must be a recognized researcher or research expert. The entire committee has also been set up with a view to an equal distribution of both private and public employees, as well as women and men. The aim is also for the pre-personality to represent both the private business community and the universities.
