Project grants for novel science communication and public dialogue

Project grants for novel science communication and public dialogue support creative projects that communicate natural sciences and technology and facilitate public dialogue on topics including research, sustainability, climate, energy production and health. Grants are awarded to administrating institutions or organisations that run projects targeting children, young people and/or the general population within the Danish Realm. Projects may range from pre-projects to multi-year initiatives and must demonstrate novelty, engagement of target groups and plans for dissemination and impact assessment.

The administrating institution must be a public institution and/or nonprofit organisation (including educational institutions, municipalities, research institutions, museums or associations) based in the Danish Realm.
