These SDU researchers have been awarded this year’s grants from the Carlsberg Foundation
Twenty-six researchers from SDU have been awarded grants from the Carlsberg Foundation to investigate questions that could pave the way for new breakthroughs in their fields. This year, the Carlsberg Foundation has awarded a total of DKK 93 million to SDU researchers.
This year’s grants from the Carlsberg Foundation have just been announced, and 26 researchers from SDU have been awarded grants to pave the way for new breakthroughs in their research areas. In total, DKK 93 million will go to research at SDU in this round of grants. Last year, it was DKK 88 million.
This year, four SDU researchers have been awarded Semper Ardens Accomplish grants of almost DKK 13 million each. Semper Ardens Accomplish grants are awarded to internationally recognised recently appointed professors to carry out innovative and ambitious research projects.
Moreover, two SDU researchers have been awarded Semper Ardens Accelerate grants, the first to explore how consumers can be engaged and play an active role in increasing cybersecurity and the second to explore how human life expectancy can be predicted much more accurately.
In addition, numerous grants in a variety of other categories, including research infrastructure, the publication of a groundbreaking monograph or outstanding Danish doctoral thesis, have been awarded to SDU researchers.
