Deadline: Ongoing
The Lundbeck Foundation is seeking applications for its Lundbeck Foundation Visiting Professorships Program, from scientists groups that have been traditionally under-represented in academia, including women and scientists of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
The Lundbeck Foundation’s ambition is to make Denmark leading in neuroscience research by funding relevant biomedical, health, clinical and other sciences in Denmark. The goal is to foster world-class research at Danish universities and Danish university hospitals. International collaboration is one of the best ways to elevate the Danish research environment and strengthen the career path of the researchers involved.
The purpose of this call is to support Danish biomedical research groups to invite foreign guest researchers at the professor level to Denmark for 2-6 months to encourage collaboration between excellent senior scientists in Denmark and international peers.
The Lundbeck Foundation believes that diversity strengthens science and for this reason diversity, including, but not limited to, gender and ethnic origin, is encouraged.
Themes
- The research should be within the field of basic or clinical neuroscience, or science with clear relevance to or potential benefit for neuroscience. The term ‘neuroscience’ is used here in its broadest sense, hence including medical, technical, natural and social sciences as well as humanities.
Funding Information
- You can apply for up to DKK 500,000 per grant for a period of two to six months.
Eligibility Criteria
- Biomedical research leaders – full or associate professors – at Danish non-commercial research institutions, who plan to invite an international colleague to Denmark.
Evaluation Criteria
- The evaluation will be based on:
- The scientific quality of the proposed project (originality, state of the art, impact and feasibility).
- The qualifications of the visiting professor.
- The scientific competences and facilities of the host environment.
- The feasibility of the proposed collaborative project.
- The benefit for Danish research.
Application Requirements
- The application must include the following:
- Research plan for the stay in Denmark.
- Description of the collaborative project.
- An explanation of the visiting professor’s scientific qualifications.
- Statement explaining how the visiting professorship will strengthen the research at your Danish institution/department.
- Publication list and CV for applicant and visiting professor.
- Budget. The applied budget must be approved by your Danish institution.
