Carlsberg Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Centres

The Carlsberg Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Centres is a six-year grant programme funding up to four research centres that pursue visionary interdisciplinary projects across the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Grants may be awarded for work designed to generate scientific breakthroughs through integrated, multidimensional research and must demonstrate collaborative leadership and long-term sustainability. Funding is provided as a framework grant to cover project-relevant expenses, including personnel, equipment, consumables and research-related travel. The total amount applied for may be up to DKK 50 million per centre.

Up to DKK 50 million over six years; support for salaries (postdocs, PhD students, project coordinator, research assistants, student assistants), consumables, equipment, travel, research stays and conferences; indirect cost supplement for Danish universities.

A team of two or three principal investigators (associate professors, senior researchers or professors) may apply. Each PI must be tenured (or equivalent) and employed at least 80% at one or more Danish research institutions for the grant period; at least two of the three main research domains (humanities, social sciences, natural sciences) must be represented. Each PI is expected to dedicate at least 50% of their research time to the project.

Application submitted via the Carlsberg Foundation application portal using required attachments (project description, budget using foundation template, CVs, publications, institutional declarations, suggested reviewers and other required documents).
