Internationalisation Fellowships
Offers two-year to three-year postdoctoral opportunities for Danish-trained researchers at international host institutions.
Internationalisation Fellowships sit under the Carlsberg Foundation and support early-career researchers who earned their PhD from a Danish, Greenlandic, or Faroese institution and now want to pursue a two-to-three-year postdoctoral project split between an international institution and a Danish home institution. The international period must make up at least half of the total project time, and the foundation expanded the scheme in 2026 by merging the former Internationalisation and Reintegration Fellowships. The award covers full salary, DKK 8,000 per month in operating expenses, family supplements of DKK 50,000 to DKK 100,000 per year during the international period, and an institutional project supplement of DKK 206,000 to DKK 257,000 per FTE annually depending on field. The call runs annually. Applicants must not have had a 12-month-or-longer abroad affiliation after the PhD. This is a good fit for researchers who want international exposure without breaking their Danish institutional link. The successful case is a project with a clear overseas host, a credible Danish home base, and a research plan that can be split cleanly across both environments.
