Information about Project supplement

The Danish Universities and six private research funding foundations, Novo Nordisk Foundation, Villum Foundation, Carlsberg Foundation, VELUX Foundation, Lundbeck Foundation and LEO Foundation, have entered into an agreement that strengthens transparency around the foundations' contribution to research at the universities and defines a clear financial distribution key between universities and foundations.

The project supplement is 250.000 DKK per FTE for selected project participants (PhD students, Postdocs, other specific academic staff including scientific assistants a.o.). Other staff may be included if specifically mention in the call guidelines.
