Writing Grant Applications & Funding Landscape

Introduction to grant writing for Researchers at AU Tech

As a postdoc, tenure-track staff, and newly recruited to a Danish university there is an expectation that you will be involved in fundraising. However, for many researchers early in their career, this is a new competence that needs to be developed. For researchers new to Europe or Denmark, there may be differences compared to your home countries.

You can learn:

  • The fundamental aspects of grant writing in a Danish and European context.
  • Topics like: grant writing process, genre, target group, evaluation, project description (introduction, objective, research questions, state-of-the-art, method, research plan, project management, dissemination, impact), budgeting and support at AU.
  • And more!
