42 of the most skilled researchers in Denmark receive funding from the Sapere Aude: DFF-Starting Grant. Five of them are from DTU.
Five scientists from DTU receive 31 Mio. DKK from Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF).
They are among 42 of the most skilled researchers in Denmark who have received starting grants from the DFF Sapere Aude research programme.
“With this grant, the individual researchers get a fantastic opportunity to pursue their best idea and at the same time establish their own research group. By supporting the best ideas, we contribute to creating optimal conditions for research that benefits us all,” says Chairman of the Board, DFF, Maja Horst.
