Students who have had their Ph.D. approved in 2025 can now register for Ph.d. Cup 26 and get the chance to win DKK 50,000.
The Cup is a communication competition for young researchers, where the five best must present their research to the whole of Denmark in a show that will be broadcast on DR1 in the spring.
All participants are also offered a place at Information's media school, where they are trained by editors, other researchers, and communication experts to communicate their research in the news media without compromising professionalism.
