DANfusion has a budget to support travels in relation to fusion energy research. The budget for 2024 is not yet settled, but is expected to be determined by March. Applications may be submitted in the meantime, and conditional approvals may be given.
The actions typically funded includes the following:
Application for funding support must be sent to sbko@fysik.dtu.dk (no deadlines).
The application should contain a clear description of the purpose of the travel, a budget breakdown (e.g. travel, hotel, conference fee), and mention if the applicant has applied for other funding sources.
For larger applications and applications from students, a CV and a description of the relation between the travel and the thesis theme should be submitted with the application.
Applications will be assessed and granted on a first-come-first-served-basis, provided that:
- The aim of the travel fulfills the aims of DANfusion (see above).
- The budget has a reasonable volume compared to the total DANfusion travel budget.
- The applicant is from a DANfusion partner university.
In case the application is outside these guidelines, the board will make a decision to grant or reject the application.
An application budget may be partly granted, and generally applicants are encouraged to seek other sources for supplementary funding. A successful applicant should inform DANfusion if there will be any unused funds from the granted budget, no later than 6 months after receiving the notice of the DANfusion grant.
DANfusion would appreciate a mention in the acknowledgements of thesis or publications, if travel support has been provided to fulfill the aim of the thesis or publication.
