External Funding of Research

For researchers employed at the Saxo Institute

If you wish to apply for funding for a research project to be hosted at Saxo, you must submit your expression of interest to Research Funding South (Forskningsfinansiering Søndre) through the Grant application form – University of Copenhagen (KUnet – login required).

Research Funding South has three fixed annual deadlines: 1 February, 1 June, and 1 October. Reminders about deadlines are announced in Saxo-Nyt and HUMnyt.

For applications outside the fixed calls, the expression of interest must be submitted no later than 8 weeks before the foundation’s deadline.

All expressions of interest are forwarded to the management for approval.

For guidance on potential funding instruments, timing, and related matters, please contact research advisor Signe Marie Jacobsen.

For external researchers

If you are not currently employed at the Saxo Institute but wish to apply for project hosting in connection with an application for external funding, you must complete the following steps well in advance of the fixed deadlines:

• Identify the research environments at the institute that are relevant to your project.

• Send a CV, a publication list (if applicable), and a project description of max. 1 page including information about the project’s aims, organisation (i.e., who will participate), and how the project can be integrated into Saxo’s existing research environments to the institute’s research advisor Signe Marie Jacobsen.
• If the institute management approves your request, you will receive a link to the expression‑of‑interest form.

For any questions, please contact  Signe Marie Jacobsen.

If you intend to apply for co‑funding of your own position, this must be stated explicitly in your email to the institute. In the exceptional cases where the institute provides co‑funding, it is strictly limited to teaching duties for which there is a demonstrable need; co‑funding is not provided for research time.
