Our doctoral candidates made individual presentations about their work-in-progress focused on innovation and commercialisation, and received feedback from the supervisors.

 

Scientific Writing Course

The course was led by Ebba Dellwik, Senior Researcher at DTU Wind and Energy Systems and it covered European ethical guidelines for research integrity and discussions about good titles for publications.
