Apply for funding

DANfusion has a budget of approximately 250.000 kr for 2021 to June 2023 to support travels in relation to fusion energy research.

 

The actions funded for 2021-2023 includes the following:

  • Support for PhD and master's students to participate in international summer schools, conferences, and European fusion experiments.

  • Reimbursement of travel expenses for Danish scientists that participate in international fusion projects, conferences, and European fusion experiments.

 

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.
