The annual grants from the Carlsberg Foundation have just been awarded, and 28 SDU researchers have received grants to pursue the scientific questions they most want to investigate.

A total of 8 researchers at SDU have received Semper Ardens grants – 7 Semper Ardens: Accelerate and 1 Semper Ardens: Advance – to carry out their own innovative and groundbreaking research projects.

Among other things, the projects will investigate how artificial intelligence affects the production and consumption of news; how media affects our sleep; and what mechanisms make cancer cells resistant or cause them to spread.

In total, SDU's researchers have received DKK 88 million for their research from the Foundation at this year’s grant awards. Last year, the total amount granted to SDU's research from the Carlsberg Foundation was DKK 70 million.

DKK 613 million awarded

The Carlsberg Foundation has awarded a total of DKK 613 million for independent basic research based on the Autumn Call 2024.

Of the DKK 613 million that the Foundation has granted for new activities, just under DKK 132 million is going to humanities research projects, DKK 155 million is given to social science projects, whereas DKK 326 million is awarded to research within the natural sciences.

The autumn grants are based on a total of 818 applications, 524 applications were submitted by male applicants, 286 by female applicants, and 8 applicants preferred not to disclose their gender.

In total, 188 grants were awarded, 80 to female researchers and 108 to male researchers. Measured per number of applications with declared gender, the overall success rate is 28 per cent for female applicants and 21 per cent for male applicants.
