The guidelines have been updated June 2023.
Purpose
The monograph fellowships are one-year full-time fellowships for leading, visionary researchers within the humanities or social sciences with a project aimed at producing a ground-breaking monograph.
Who can apply
Monograph fellowships are only awarded to tenured senior researchers employed at a Danish research institution with 5–20 years of past tenure as an associate professor, senior researcher or professor. Applicants are encouraged to state their publication plans and indicate whether they intend to submit the monograph as a doctoral dissertation.
What can be applied for
The Carlsberg Foundation covers the fellow’s full salary and operating expenses of DKK 5,000 per month. Coverage of publication expenses must be applied for separately at the end of the project.
Operating expenses are at the grant holder’s disposal to cover conferences, study trips and such like, and cannot be used to cover overhead costs and administration fees.
Monograph fellows cannot at the same time carry out teaching or heavy administrative duties. Limited supervision of PhD students or master’s students is acceptable.
The earliest start date is 1 January, and the latest start date is 1 September.
