A PhD project based on collaboration between your company/public institution and Roskilde University is an ideal opportunity to combine research and innovation and to bring your business the most recent knowledge. For three years the PhD student will conduct research in an area of great interest to the company/public institution. 

Several types of collaborations exist if your company or organization would like to be part of a PhD project in collaboration with Roskilde University:

The Industrial PhD Programme
An Industrial PhD project is a three-year vocational PhD programme where the student is employed by a company while enrolled at a university. The company receives a subsidy of 14,500 DKK each month for three years, and the university's expenses for supervision, etc. is covered by the Danish Agency for Science Technology and Innovation. The PhD student works on the project fulltime in the company, and in principle shares the time equally between the company and the university. The parties involved in an Industrial PhD programme are generally 1 company, 1 university and the Danish Agency for Science Technology and Innovation.

PhD scholarships funded partly by RU and an external partner
RU and the external partner collaborate in the definition of a research project. RU and the external partner sign an agreement and share the expenses related to the course of the PhD during the three year period. In this type of funding, the PhD student is typically employed by RU. However, under special circumstances the PhD student could be employed by the company.

PhD scholarships funded by a company
