This coverage is based on a press release from the Independent Research Fund Denmark. 

The Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) awards grants to hundreds of research projects each year. This year, 57 researchers from Aarhus University are among the recipients of the two types of grants awarded by the foundation, DFF-Researchproject1 and DFF-Researchproject2.

Maja Horst, chair of the board at the Independent Research Fund Denmark, says Danish research environments clearly produce high-quality researchers.

“At the same time, their research spans many fields of study and has the potential to create scientific breakthroughs that would benefit all of society,” she says.

The research projects come from across the scientific and scholarly spectrum: from a focus on climate and behaviour to optimising food products, to disease prevention and a study of the side effects of Covid-19 vaccines. In this project, more than 900,000 Danes are participating by providing information on any side effects they suffered from the Covid-19 vaccines.

A total of 210 researchers from research institutions across Denmark have received grants amounting to DKK 746 million.
