Each year, the Greenland Research Council awards DKK 1,281,000 to research projects affiliated with Greenlandic institutions, across and within all main scientific disciplines. In addition, 3\u20135 PhD and postdoctoral fellowships are awarded annually through a Greenlandic\u2013Danish co-funding scheme. All funds are distributed through open competition and without thematic restrictions. The Greenland Research Council places strong emphasis on anchoring research in society and ensuring that projects contribute to building knowledge and capacity in Greenland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Applicants are invited to apply for funding to realise their research idea. Please consult the guidelines and the current call for proposals below.<\/p> Under this programme, funding of up to DKK 150,000 may be awarded for individual projects involving a single research institution. Funding of up to DKK 300,000 may be awarded for projects involving collaboration between at least two Greenlandic institutions, provided that the budget reflects a reasonable distribution of costs among the participating institutions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Download project description template<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Download budget template<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Download form for institutional budget confirmation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Deadline: 1st October<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The deadline for submission of applications is 1st October.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Expect 8 weeks of processing time from the application deadline.

Each year, the Government of Greenland and the Danish state co-finance PhD and postdoctoral fellowships with the aim of strengthening research capacity in and about Greenland. The scheme is intended to support talent development, attract and retain researchers, and promote close and long-term Greenlandic-Danish research collaboration. The fellowships are open to applications within all major scientific fields.<\/p>\n The Greenland Research Council\u2019s primary task is to process the applications, while the administrative work is handled by the Secretariat, which is organizationally anchored in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Research.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tResearch Promotion Grants\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
