Call for applications: Programme of Excellence funding

The University of Copenhagen will establish a number of 'Projects of Excellence' for outstanding research initiatives in existing and new academic fields.

The aim is to support research projects that have the potential to become outstanding and leading projects within their fields. Projects must have relevance to our university curricula and to society and commerce in general.

Application is open to all researchers at the University of Copenhagen and to researchers from other institutions provided they will be employed by the University of Copenhagen while conducting the research project. Interfaculty and interdisciplinary applications are welcomed.

Applicants can request funding up to DKK 5 million (€ 680,000) a year for up to five years.

Applications must be directed at one of the eight faculties of University of Copenhagen. The deadline is 1 June 2007. The Projects of Excellence will be announced in November 2007.
