Research networks
Our interdisciplinary research networks have been established to facilitate collaboration. Within these networks, researchers identify new interdisciplinary correlations and synergies, laying the groundwork for new, innovative responses to future prevention and health challenges. The projects are developed among the strong UCPH research environments, with the relevant involvement of interest groups, business and industry, decision-makers, foundations and others.
Here, you can discover detailed descriptions of seven of our networks. From studying women's health transitions to utilizing multi-omics data analysis and promoting preventive medicine, our networks are leading the way in pioneering research.
How to form a network
Purpose of the networks
Different objectives can be achieved by forming a network. Three main objectives could be:
- Sharing ideas, areas of expertise and methods that further qualify one’s own research in the areas of prevention and health
- Identifying and maturing a common research concept by exploring interdisciplinary synergies and methodologies across areas of research
- Collaborating to draw up a joint, specific project idea and applying for funding
How do I form a network?
All researchers across UCPH departments and faculties are welcome to set up a network whose common project is to identify new interdisciplinary correlations and synergies and lay the groundwork for new, innovative responses to future prevention and health. New networks must be approved by the steering committee.
The active networks that exist were formed based on several workshops, at which interested UCPH researchers were invited to present their research to one another and subsequently join forces around a new research. The next workshop will take place in fall 2025.
Please contact Nele Høgsbro if you wish to participate.
How do I join an existing network?
Contact members of the network (see contact details under each network). Some networks will be open to receiving more members and areas of expertise, while others may have already delimited their projects.
I am already involved in relevant interdisciplinary research collaboration. What should I do?
If you are already involved in a relevant interdepartmental and/or interfaculty research collaboration and would like to be part of profiling and developing this strategic initiative, please contact the steering committee members or Nele Høgsbro.
