Scientific advice Scientific advice is one of DTU’s core activities and is on equal footing with research, education, and innovation. It involves research-based advisory services to governmental bodies and international institutions, as well as extensive collaboration with industry through public-private partnerships. The collaboration and partnerships are designed to strengthen the development and implementation of sustainable solutions and to enhance the competitiveness of the Danish private and public sectors. The Danish model for scientific advice is unique in Europe, because scientific advice is incorporated in Danish universities' portfolio of activities. Around one fifth of DTU staff is employed within the scientific advice area. DTU is one of the main providers of scientific advice and public sector consultancy to government ministries and agencies in Denmark. DTU establishes and maintains partnerships within maritime applications, railways, and defence and contributes with advice, monitoring, contingency tasks, development, and deployment of new technologies within such diverse areas as satellite-based surveillance, food safety, veterinary contingency, fisheries, energy, and climate. Innovation networks and clusters Through extensive participation in a wide range of innovation networks and clusters, DTU contributes to fulfilling the Danish government's ambitions of creating economic growth and jobs. DTU participates in 17 out of 22 national innovation networks between researchers and industrial partners, and is involved in major clusters in medtech, water, and food technology.
