The Independent Research Fund Denmark is currently accepting applications for its Explorative Network Humanities Grant Programme to strengthen cooperation between different Danish research environments and preferably also international collaborators.
In the assessment, emphasis is placed on the originality of the conceptual idea, the network’s potential for scientific innovation, and the course of the planned activities.
