The grant holder is responsible for following the existing guidelines.

Grant period

The grant period is outlined in the grant letter or in the subsequently submitted notice. The Carlsberg Foundation must approve any change in the grant period.

Any request for a change in the grant period must be submitted via the Carlsberg Foundation application and grant system (CF-Grant).

If the funding has not been fully used at the expiration of the grant period, the remainder of the grant will be withdrawn.

Disbursement of grants

Any grant disbursement requests must be submitted via the Carlsberg Foundation application and grant system (CF-Grant).

Grants will be reported to the Danish Customs and Tax Administration (SKAT) with reference to the relevant CVR or CPR number in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Administration of the grant

The grant should be administrated by the project leader or a representative of the applicant institution.

Redistribution of budget lines

Any redistribution of individual budget lines exceeding 25 % requires prior approval from the Carlsberg Foundation. For this approval, the Carlsberg Foundation template “Financial statement for budget reallocation”, found at the bottom of this page, must be used. 

To submit the budget reallocation request, the grantee must create a message with the attached file in the Carlsberg Foundation application and grant system (CF-Grant).

Change of grant holder

A grant from the Carlsberg Foundation is given to the main applicant.

In the event of a change of job or death, the grant becomes void by default. Transfer of a grant to another person requires an exceptional reason and must be approved by the Carlsberg Foundation.
