Once again this year, the Carlsberg Foundation has awarded funding to Danish research – spanning fields from political science and archaeology to astrophysics and marine biology.

A total of 159 researchers affiliated with Danish research environments have received support – among them 26 from SDU, including 8 from the Faculty of Science.

Last year, researchers at NAT secured approximately DKK 20.5 million from the Carlsberg Foundation. This year, the figure has increased to approx. DKK 25.4 million.

The Foundation has awarded a total of DKK 581 million this year, which is slightly lower than last year’s pool of DKK 613 million. This year, the grants are distributed as follows: 32 for humanities projects, 40 for social sciences projects, and 87 for research within the natural sciences.

In terms of grant size, Professor Amelia Elena Rotaru from BIOLOGY stands out with a Semper Ardens Accomplish grant of DKK 13 million for her continued research into methane-producing microbes.

Below is the full overview of grants awarded to researchers at the Faculty of Science:
