Policy Fellowship

When working with society’s major challenges, there is a need for cross-disciplinary and academically robust knowledge that can inspire new solutions. But in a busy everyday life, it can be difficult to find the time and the right opportunities to seek out new insights.

Our Policy Fellowship is a competitive professional development program that gives decision-makers from business, civil society, the public sector, and philanthropy the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of the societal challenges they work with.

Through tailored one-on-one meetings with researchers, as well as inspiration and networking sessions for all policy fellows, the program makes it possible to build new relationships and facilitate mutual knowledge sharing between researchers and policy fellows across sectors.

The program is inspired by a similar initiative at the University of Cambridge and is a unique model in a Danish context.

It is of great value that, as a policy fellow, you can maintain contact with other fellows and researchers through the Mary Centre’s alumni network. I have gained a strong network among the other alumni, who keep me updated on key societal issues and whom I can draw on if new projects arise.
