Purpose
Semper Ardens Accelerate grants are three to four-year grants to support the consolidation of the applicant’s independent research group or research environment.
Who?
The applicant must be a tenured associate professor, employed at a Danish research institution who has been appointed for a maximum of two years at the date of the application deadline.
The exact date on which the applicant took up their position as a tenured associate professor, irrespective of the country, must be clearly stated in the CV and declaration of support from the host institution. The Carlsberg Foundation reserves the right to request additional documentation.
Any periods of leave will be accepted as extensions of this time limit (parental leave, family care leave, illness, military service, etc.).
The foundation expects the applicant to dedicate at least 50% of their research time to the project.
For this reason, it is not deemed possible to hold similar “career” grants if the applicant at the time of the application deadline is in the first half of the grant period.
If the applicant holds a career grant from another source and is in the second half of the grant period, the applicant must provide an account of the time commitment for the different projects in the project description.
What?
The total amount applied for must not exceed DKK 7 million.
