Building on their valuable experiences, novel skills and new connections around the country, the NAD PhD fellows have now selected their PhD labs and main supervisors. In October 2024, their PhD project proposals were approved, and we are excited to follow the development of their projects closely when they enrol as PhD students in January 2025.
Thank you to the more than 40 researchers who hosted an NAD PhD fellow in a rotation this year – you have all given the fellows valuable experience that they will continue to draw on in their future research careers, and we hope that you got something in return. Here is to another year of building bridges within Danish neuroscience!
Remember that you can find a full overview of all the NAD PhD fellows’ lab rotations, PhD labs, project titles and supervisors on the individual NAD fellow pages.
