Purpose
Reintegration fellowships are two-year postdoctoral fellowships at Danish research institutions for postdoctoral fellows subsequent to an internationalisation fellowship from the Carlsberg Foundation or another research stay abroad.
Who?
These fellowships are awarded to postdoctoral fellows who wish to establish research activities in Denmark after a research stay abroad.
As a general rule, only applicants who are currently abroad are eligible to apply for this fellowship.
Applicants with more than five years’ experience since obtaining their PhD degree are not eligible. Any periods of leave will be accepted as extensions of this time limit (maternity leave, paternity leave, family care leave, illness, military service and so on). The exact PhD date must be specified in the CV.
Reintegration fellowships are only awarded to postdoctoral fellows with a strong connection to Danish research and a previous research stay abroad.
What?
The Carlsberg Foundation covers the fellow’s full salary and operating expenses of DKK 5,000 per month.
Operating expenses are at the postdoctoral fellow’s disposal to cover conferences, study trips and such like, and cannot be used to cover overhead costs and administration fees.
Where there are special operating expenses related to the project, an additional DKK 60,000 can be applied for, provided that the expenses are specified in the budget form. These may include, but are not limited to, laboratory access or procurement of instruments or apparatus.
Assessment & process
FAQ
The Carlsberg Foundation only supports scientific activities with a strong connection to Danish research, as specified in the Charter of the Foundation, Sect. 9.1. The board of the Carlsberg Foundation interprets this to mean that the applicant may, for example:
- hold a degree from a Danish research institute and subsequently have been employed at a Danish research institute; or
- through personal or family relations be strongly connected to Danish research; or
- possess so strong and demonstrated ties to Danish research that even if the applicant moves abroad to conduct research, e.g., in connection with an internationalization fellowship, the applicant intends to return to Danish research upon the completion of their stay.
These examples are not exhaustive. It is ultimately up to the board of the Carlsberg Foundation to decide whether a connection is considered strong or not.
No. The requirements for the length of the application are described in the guidelines regardless of the number of applicants.
