Jørgen Frøkiær, chair of the board of the Independent Research Fund Denmark, has this to say about the recipients:
This year’s recipients of the Sapere Aude Starting Grants represent the future of research in Denmark. These promising researchers are advancing the research field with their groundbreaking ideas and improving our ability to respond to global challenges through the production of new knowledge. At a time when research is crucial to tackling world challenges like pandemics and the green transition, these researchers are showing us the way forward.
The Sapere Aude Starting Grants are designed to give early career researchers who have conducted top-class research in their field the opportunity to develop their research ideas and strengthen their skills as research directors. They are also intended to promote careers and to facilitate mobility between different research environments, both nationally and internationally, and to strengthen research networks. In this way, the grants help to internationalise Danish research, because part of the Sapere Aude grant enables researchers to spend some of their research career abroad and to foster international collaboration.
