As part of its ongoing 100th anniversary celebrations, Novo Nordisk A/S is sponsoring an Indian delegation of 10 school students- 5 girls and 5 boys- to be part of its global Future Scientists Summer Camp to be organized in Copenhagen, Denmark in August 2023. This week-long summer camp will host 100 exceptional students coming together from across the world at the state-of-the-art Novo Nordisk facilities and LIFE Campus in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Novo Nordisk A/S is a global healthcare company and is organising the Future Scientists Summer Camp (FSSC) in collaboration with Denmark-based LIFE Foundation with a vision to inspire the next generation of scientists in the field of medical science advancements. This one-of-a-kind initiative is Novo Nordisk’s effort to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.
Welcoming the Indian student delegation, their faculty and parents at a ceremony in Novo Nordisk India’s headquarters in Bengaluru, Corporate Vice President and Managing Director, Novo Nordisk India, Vikrant Shrotriya, said, “We are excited to host these bright Indian minds who will represent our country at the first-ever Future Scientists Summer Camp in Denmark. As a company born out of scientific excellence, it is our duty to accelerate learning among the young generation and help them nurture their potential for scientific discovery. This camp will be an unforgettable experience for these students as they will not only represent India on a global platform, but also find the appropriate environment to quench their curiosity and passion for science. I am certain that this effort will make a lasting positive impact on their educational journey. We will continue to lead the way in inspiring the next generation of healthcare innovators and fostering global collaboration towards a brighter future.”
Sujatha Mohandas, principal, Sishu Griha School, Bangalore, addressed the students and Novo Nordisk India at the event and said, “This opportunity will make a great impact as children will be learning beyond academics and classrooms. We expect that these students will make the most of this summer camp by imbibing new cultures, experiencing world-class scientific advancements and processes, as well as participating in various hands-on activities and forming new friends for life.”
This one-of-a-kind summer camp will be a unique opportunity for all participants to explore scientific advancements in healthcare, engage in thought-provoking discussions and lectures, learn from the experiences of their peers, expand their knowledge, and share their perspectives on key scientific topics such as health, sustainability, and cutting-edge advancements in a dynamic and inspiring environment.
