The grants for the 25 projects have been awarded through open competition under the two open calls Science Communication and Carlsberg Mindelegat, which were announced in November 2025.

Among many other things, look forward to listening to the podcasts ‘Nutiden forstået baglæns’ and ‘PERMAFROSTENS GENFÆRD – en klimagyser’. Experience the festival ‘UDFORSK: blind-date med forskning i folks stuer’ and the conversation series ’Det onde, det falske og det grimme’ during Golden Days 2026. Follow the series ‘Cyberkrigens anatomi’ and ‘Forskere i feedet’. And visit the exhibition ‘I and Us / Jeg og Vi’.

All activities will be freely accessible to anyone with an interest in science and research.

Grants Awarded Through Open Competition

Under the Science Communication call, DKK 15 million has been awarded to 14 major communication initiatives developed and carried out by professional communicators in collaboration with researchers.

In addition, DKK 2 million has been awarded through Carlsberg Mindelegat to 11 projects developed and carried out by researchers at Danish universities and research institutions who wish to communicate their own research to a broad public audience.

While the maximum grant amount per project under the Science Communication call is DKK 3 million, the maximum grant amount under Carlsberg Mindelegat is DKK 200,000 per project.
