SUND Collaborates

Seed funding for novel research collaborations

SUND Collaborates is a strategic research programme that gives seed funding to research projects aiming to:

  • strengthen collaboration across SUND
  • create novel collaborative research environments within strategically important research areas considered existing positions of strengths at SUND or research areas with the potential to become so
  • increase external funding within these areas

In the strategy period 2025-2028, there will be two rounds of calls for grants in open competition.The calls will announce strategic research themes identified as important future areas by SUND, in which collaborating researchers can apply, as well as investigator-initiated research themes. The strategic research themes may vary between the two rounds. The budget for each grant is DKK 4 million over a 3-year period.
