Carlsberg Foundation awards DKK 1.3 million to basic research at Tech.
The Carlsberg Foundation has awarded almost DKK 98 million to basic research at Aarhus University. The humanities and social sciences have been particularly recognised. DKK 1.3 million has been be awarded to four researchers at the Faculty of Technical Sciences.
This coverage is based on a press release from the Carlsberg Foundation.
All grants are awarded on the basis of a thorough academic assessment of a total of 589 applications the foundation received by the application deadline in October. The applications stem from the researchers’ own scientific ideas and project proposals that range from research on agricultural developments in the 1600s to the impact of climate change on Arctic ecosystems.
Funding for researchers at TECH is distributed as follows:
Mikael K Sejr, Department of Ecoscience, DKK 217,900, Field work/research work at foreign institutions: Marine productivity on the Arctic seafloor; from novel measurement to circum-Arctic estimate.
Jonas Teilmann, Department of Ecoscience, DKK 247,920, Field work/research work at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources: Estimating the prey consumption of the largest predator of the Arctic in a changing environment.
Martyn Tranter, Department of Environmental Science, DKK 691,295, Research infrastructure: Next generation biogeochemical ice sheet field laboratory equipment: in-situ, near-real time assessment of microbial growth on the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Claus Melvad, Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering, DKK 132,735, Research infrastructure: An experimental setup to study microbially-produced ice nucleating proteins.
