In August 2026, Denmark launches a new international elite summer school for
PhD students spotlighting the future of health data and artificial intelligence.
Developed collaboratively across Danish universities and anchored at the University of Copenhagen, the summer school brings together top researchers and PhD students for an intensive two‑week exploration of how data-driven innovation is
transforming healthcare.
Building on Denmark’s globally unique health data infrastructure and strong culture of trust, the summer school showcases the country’s strengths as a leading life science nation. Participants will engage with cross-disciplinary experts, advanced research environments, and explorations of how the unique Danish health data infrastructure allows truly unique applications and development of AI powered health solutions.

Participants
Danish and international PhD students
and early-career researchers (postdocs)
with an interest in applying AI and data
analysis to life science and healthcare
problems. Typically with backgrounds
in computer science, machine learning,
biostatistics, epidemiology,
neuroscience, or related quantitative
disciplines, but motivated applicants
from other backgrounds can also apply.

Programme
Each day combines high-level lectures
and presentations by leading
international experts with in-depth
case work. The programme will adapt
a full-circle approach to AI-powered
health solutions, both the technical and
practical aspects.
