The state-of-the-art quantum facility will strengthen Europe’s ability to design, manufacture and scale next-generation quantum chips, helping to position the continent as a global leader in quantum technology. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eiKXe4Dd

Europe’s power grids are under increasing pressure. Electricity demand is rising, and more wind and solar power is being added to the system. The challenge is not only how to expand the grid, but how to make better use of the grid we already have while new capacity is built. AI has the potential to help grid operators make critical decisions faster and with greater confidence, even as conditions become harder to predict. Human operators remain in charge, supported by tools that are safe and trustworthy. Through our support for AI4GRIDS, a Nordic research initiative led by DTU - Technical University of Denmark together with Lund University and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), we aim to contribute to the tools needed for more resilient power systems in the Nordics and Europe. Hear our Chief Scientific Officer Lene B. Oddershede and Professor at DTU Spyros Chatzivasileiadis explain more in the video and read more about the initiative here: https://lnkd.in/eadEYwvc

School meals do more than feed children. When well designed, they can contribute to the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life. One reason is that the school-age years are a critical window, when food preferences and lifelong habits take shape. A new white paper from the Research Consortium for School Health & Nutrition, supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, highlights the potential of school meals programmes to improve diets and support lifelong health. Go to the website of the School Meals Coalition to read the white paper: https://lnkd.in/eQugaYBD

Join us to celebrate World Diabetes Day for an afternoon on the early detection and prevention of type 2 diabetes in Denmark. Up to half of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes already have complications by the time they find out. This year’s theme, “early action on diabetes”, asks how we can change that. 🔹 The burden of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in Denmark 🔹 Using national health data to target prevention locally 🔹 Which screening methods are feasible and cost-effective 🔹 The Foundation-funded DP-NEXT project and what it could mean for prevention Speakers include Rasmus Wibæk Christensen (Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen), Anne Illemann Christensen (Statens Institut for Folkesundhed), Tanja Thybo (Diabetesforeningen) and Professor Daniel Witte (Aarhus University/Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus). Bring your questions for the closing panel debate, test your own diabetes risk at the Danish Diabetes Association’s booth, and stay for networking afterwards. 13 November 2026, 13:30–17:00 Tuborg Havnevej 19, 2900 Hellerup Open to all. Sign up by 12 November. Save your seat: https://lnkd.in/eFbJt8Dy #WorldDiabetesDay #Diabetes #Prevention #PublicHealth

The EASO-Novo Nordisk Foundation Obesity Prize for Excellence is intended to reward and encourage individual scientific excellence in order to promote innovative research that can lead to new knowledge about obesity for the benefit of people who live with obesity and to stimulate interest in science and technology in society as a whole. The Prize is awarded annually to an internationally recognised researcher for their contributions to obesity research. The Prize is accompanied by DKK 2 million, of which DKK 1.7 million is a research grant and the rest a personal award. It is conferred at the annual European Congress on Obesity. Nominations and applications are now open for the 2027 EASO–Novo Nordisk Foundation Obesity Prize for Excellence and New Investigator Awards. Nominate here: https://lnkd.in/ejFVKxPy

Global food systems are under increasing pressure. Rising populations and a changing climate are making it harder to feed the world, and harder still to nourish it. The challenge is not simply how to produce more food, but how to produce sufficient and nutritious food while using less land and reducing environmental impact. New breeding technologies have the potential to accelerate the development of climate-resilient crops, helping farmers adapt to changing conditions and bringing scientific advances more quickly into farmers’ fields. Through our support for organisations such as CIMMYT and ICRISAT, we are helping advance the science needed to build more resilient food systems, improve nutrition and strengthen food security. #WorldFoodDay
