Novo Nordisk Fonden is seeking applications for its Project Grants for Art History Research to give talented researchers within art history the opportunity to carry out ambitious and innovative research projects of high academic quality that can make a significant contribution to the field of art history in Denmark.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation supports art history research projects of 1-3 years duration.
Funding Information
- The research project can be an independent project or a clearly defined part of a larger project.
- A total of DKK 2 million is available for funding of: 1-, 2- and 3-year project grants of DKK 100.000-300.000 per year, with a total of DKK 100.000-900.000 per grant.
- However, one-year grant applications may exceed a total of DKK 300.000.
- Applications for funding below DKK 100.000 are not eligible for support.
Research Field
- Project proposals can address art history research within all time periods from prehistoric to modern times in a Danish or international context. The project proposal must, however demonstrate academic relevance for the research environment at the Danish host institution.
- Projects within architecture and design will be taken into consideration, if the applicant sufficiently accounts for the project’s relevance for the visual arts.
- The foundation does not support projects within preservation or archeology.
Eligibility Criteria
- The applicant must work within the field of art history research and be anchored at a university, museum or other knowledge institution in Denmark (host institution) during the grant period. A commitment letter from the host institution must be submitted with the application.
- The project must involve significant research activity and applicants can therefore not apply if applicants wish to use the entire grant to organize a conference or publish a book.

The application must be completed and submitted via given website.
Eligible Country: Denmark
