Our programmes
Eight regular programmes
We fund projects through eight programmes within three categories – research, career support and competence development, and education. In addition to the regular programmes, we also carry out special initiatives.
Strong research and education environments
Several forms of support All our programmes contribute in different ways to environments being able to establish and maintain a strong national and international scientific or artistic position in the long term, which also constitutes a profile area for the university.
