In August and September, we are welcoming 36 new PhD students on short term study stays in the context of Danida financed research projects, 15 new Master’s students and 324 participants attending 14 different learning programmes. In other words, a total of more than 350 people will be arriving in Denmark from all over the world for research, learning programmes and Master’s studies.

In this video, Sophie Amalie Eiholm Kjær, capacity development advisor at Danida Fellowship Centre, explains more about the arrival of the 15 Master’s students. They come from Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya and Indonesia, and they are all young professionals working within institutions and organisations partnering with Denmark under the Strategic Sector Cooperation.

Watch the video on LinkedIn and help us welcome the new Master’s students.

At Danida Fellowship Centre, we will be coordinating their study stay and supporting them during their time in Denmark.
