Realising the potential for world-class research
Talent Track at the Faculty of Social Sciences and SDU Business School is designed to provide the researchers with the opportunities to pursue their research ambitions for societal engagement, relevance, and impact. The initiative is designed to identify and acknowledge talented and ambitious researchers and support their original, world-class, and ground-breaking research.
An activity-based career booster
Talent Track Fellows will have individually tailored career plans made for them. Such plans will define distinct excellence objectives and measures to achieve them. Enrolled fellows are offered financial support from the faculties as well as mentoring and coaching by senior excellent peers to help them achieve their career objectives.
Talent Track Fellows
All researchers at the two faculties with a PhD age of two to eight years can apply for enrolment in the Talent Track. Enrolment requires an extraordinary academic profile that will be assessed on the merit of the applicant’s research track record.
The Talent Track is open for applications once a year. An advisory board reviews applications and decides on new Talent Track enrolments.
Bringing together emerging career scholars
The Talent Track Fellows include both early-career scholars at the faculties, who have applied specifically for enrolment in the Talent Track, as well as scholars recognised by external excellence programs or grants: Marie Curie Fellows (MSCA), Danish Institute of Advanced Studies Fellows (DIAS), ERC Starting, DFF Sapere Aude and Carlsberg Semper Ardens accelerate grant holders. Though more established, ERC Consolidator grant holders are likewise offered participation in the Talent Track.
As a forum for networking and learning, the Talent Track will bring together these talented researchers to share and discuss research experiences and visions with each other as well as with relevant guest speakers from academia and society.
