The presidents of the two universities discussed opportunities for developing the existing partnership and took advantage of the meeting to sign an agreement that gives PhD students from DTU the chance to obtain a joint doctorate from NTU and DTU. The PhD students will have to spend at least one year at NTU and will be allocated a PhD supervisor at both universities. The agreement applies in selected academic areas, where both parties consider there to be potential for synergy and complementary activities in working together (see box).
