Danish National Research Foundation
Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF - Grundforskningsfonden) funds outstanding basic research of the highest international level at the frontiers of all research fields.
The primary funding mechanism of the Danish National Research Foundation is the Centres of Excellence (CoE) program. Only top researchers with the most ambitious ideas will be awarded a CoE through fierce competition involving a two-stage application process. The objective of the CoE program is to strengthen Danish research by providing the best possible working conditions and organizational set-up for selected top researchers.
- A center grant is large and flexible, and a center may have a lifetime of up to 10 years - the funding is often around DKK 10 million each year.
- The two-stage application process takes two years - every 2nd year there is a call for CoE’s
