Biotech major Novozymes and the Holck-Larsen Foundation have joined hands to set up a Danish Krone 2-million fund for scientist exchange programme between India and Denmark.
Announcing the partnership, Per Falholt, Executive Vice-President and head of R&D at Novozymes, said: “The initiative comes at a time when Novozymes needs talented scientists with a global mindset. My dream is to connect Indian and Danish science in the field of biotechnology.”
“This is why we're establishing this scientist exchange programme to provide funds to send scientists off-on an educational international assignment. I'm sure the programme will benefit both our countries and Novozymes,” he added.
Novozymes has a significant business in India with over 400 employees. Recently, the company invested in a R&D facility in Bangalore.
The programme will run from 2013 to 2019, and each year 25 scientists will participate in exchange visits between India and Denmark. The funds will be managed by the Technical University of Denmark, the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University.
