Research Infrastructure
Provides grant support for Danish researchers needing advanced laboratory equipment and facilities.
Research Infrastructure sits under the Carlsberg Foundation and funds equipment, apparatus, or access to international facilities that lets Danish researchers answer questions they could not otherwise tackle. The foundation is an enterprise foundation founded in 1876, based in Copenhagen, and it combines long-term ownership of Carlsberg A/S with philanthropic support for basic research. Awards start at DKK 300,000, and the foundation says it will only rarely support requests above DKK 5 million. Eligible applicants are tenured associate professors, senior researchers, or professors at Danish universities and research institutes. University colleges and hospitals are explicitly excluded, salaries and core facilities are not fundable, and the call runs annually. The published success rate was about 26 percent in 2024 and 27 percent in 2025. The strongest applications are the ones that show why the instrument or facility access is the decisive step, not just a useful extra. The program is built for established research teams with a clear scientific case and a concrete technical bottleneck, especially where the requested infrastructure unlocks a line of inquiry that would otherwise stay out of reach.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
