Create new knowledge and technology with MADE

The MADE knowledge engine is powered by research projects responding to specific requests and requirements among Danish industrial enterprises. In these projects, major corporates and small-scale enterprises, university researchers and specialists from knowledge-provider organisations collaborate to develop solutions to shared challenges.

MADE PhDs conduct research in diverse fields. MADE PhD researcher Venkata Nadimpalli next to the unique 3D printer he built at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in partnership with the LEGO Group, Grundfos and FORCE Technology.

Since its inception, MADE has initiated more than 100 research projects. Research within MADE is conducted on research platforms for which we have partnered with Danish industry to define a number of strategic initiatives. The current research platform is called MADE FAST

MADE researchers, typically PhDs and postdocs, conduct research in everything from 3D printing and robotics to smart factories and supply chains. By fostering research projects and recruiting budding researchers, MADE is helping to train a new generation of advanced manufacturing researchers and knowledge workers in Danish companies.

MADE FAST

MADE FAST – Flexible, Agile, Sustainable manufacturing enabled by Talented employees was launched by MADE in April 2020. MADE FAST consists of five strategic initiatives.

Participate in MADE research

Within MADE, we create knowledge and new technology through applied research. There are four different types of researchers within MADE:

  • MADE PhDs
  • MADE postdocs
  • Associate PhDs or postdocs
  • Heads of strategic research initiatives/professors/senior researchers

The majority of MADE researchers are MADE PhDs funded by MADE who serve a range of companies. As a MADE PhD, you will typically be working in a research team within one of the strategic initiatives.

In addition to participating in MADE research, MADE researchers are invited to attend the annual three-day MADE Young Researchers Workshop where they solve business cases in interdisciplinary, inter-institutional teams. This event offers professional and social opportunities for sharing knowledge and long-term networking among the up-and-coming generation of advanced manufacturing researchers.

Keep an eye out on the MADE website for universities advertising research appointments or contact MADE for more information about the opportunities (see below for contact details).
