National Funding

 

Introducing 'VILLUM FOUNDATION Young Investigator Programme'.

The programme supports talented young Danish researchers in the natural sciences and engineering sciences with ambitions to create their own, independent research profiles.
Expected total budget for the programme per year is 50 million DKK.
The program is both aimed at young researchers ("senior" postdocs) without permanent employment, but with potential for permanent employment, and young, relatively newly tenured associate professors. For both groups, the relevant international experience will weigh heavily in the fund's rating.
Permanent lecturers can apply for up to 7 million DKK in a period of up to 5 years, non-tenured senior postdocs can apply for up to 4 million DKK in a period of up to 3 years.

Application deadline is 1 September 2011.
