MicroMAX Collaborative Research Grants

The MicroMAX Collaborative Research Grants support collaborative research projects that make use of the MicroMAX macromolecular crystallography beamline at the MAX IV Synchrotron in Lund, Sweden. The programme aims to facilitate high-quality collaborative research, promote the beamline to a Danish user community while encouraging international collaboration, establish expertise within serial synchrotron crystallography at Danish non-profit research organisations, and educate and train early career researchers. Projects should align with the Foundation’s strategic focuses including biomedicine, health sciences, sustainability, biotechnology, natural and technical sciences, or data science.

The main applicant must be affiliated (at least 80% of a full-time position) with a Danish university, hospital or other non-profit organisation (host institution). One or two co-applicants are required and may be based in Denmark or abroad at a university, hospital or other non-profit research institution. At least either the applicant or one of the co-applicants must have expertise in synchrotron-based crystallography or closely related methods.

Applications must be completed and submitted via the Novo Nordisk Foundation application system NORMA. Applicants should read the Guidelines before initiating the application.
