Eriksholm Summer School

The Eriksholm summer school is a five-day all-expenses-covered workshop for PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who are funded or related to Demant. It provides a unique opportunity to meet and network with fellow PhD students and postdocs connected to Demant, learn from scientists and specialists how their work is relevant in industry, and gain an understanding of the end-user needs and challenges across 3 business areas of Demant – EPOS, Oticon, and Interacoustics. The Eriksholm Summer School is organized by the William Demant Foundation.

This year, we will spend a day at Eriksholm (hearing research) in Snekkersten, Oticon (high-end hearing aid developer) in Smørum, and Interacoustics (world-leading audiological and balance diagnostic equipment developer) in Middelfart, digging into details of exactly how scientific knowledge is translated into different types of value (new state-of-art algorithms and technologies) at each business.

The summer school will include:

• A fun and engaging social program.
• Increasing your professional network with other researchers, specialists and managers in Demant.
• In-depth time spent with scientific specialists in each business area.
• Based on your input in the form below, we could offer an optional assignment, which your academic Institution may accept for ECTS credits. The topic is innovation, and the curriculum includes innovation theory and framing your research according to innovation theories within business areas of Demant.
