Purpose

Reintegration fellowships are two-year postdoctoral fellowships at Danish research institutions for postdoctoral fellows subsequent to an internationalisation fellowship funded by the Carlsberg Foundation or another research stay abroad.

Who?

These fellowships are awarded to postdoctoral fellows who wish to undertake research activities in Denmark after a research stay abroad. As a general rule, only applicants who are abroad at the time of the application deadline are eligible to apply for this fellowship. 

Applicants who, at the time of the application deadline, have more than five years’ experience since obtaining their PhD degree are not eligible. 

The exact date on which the PhD degree was obtained must be clearly stated in the CV. The Carlsberg Foundation reserves the right to request additional documentation.

Any periods of leave will be accepted as extensions of this time limit (parental leave, family care leave, illness, military service, etc.).

Reintegration fellowships are only awarded to postdoctoral fellows with a strong connection to Danish research (see FAQ for a definition) and a previous research stay abroad.

What?

The Carlsberg Foundation covers the fellow’s full salary plus operating expenses of DKK 8,000 per month. 

Operating expenses are at the postdoctoral fellow’s disposal to cover conferences, study trips, etc., and cannot be used to cover overhead costs and administration fees, or costs to be covered by the project supplement.

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 template. These expenses may include, but are not limited to, laboratory access or procurement of instruments or apparatus.

The project description must be written using Times New Roman, font size 12, margins on the left, right, top and bottom of at least 2 cm and line spacing of 1.5.

The project description must not exceed two A4 pages (including figures, tables, etc., but excluding references). Any references or bibliography must be added in direct continuation of the project description.

The project description must explain the innovative scientific quality of the project compared to the applicant’s PhD project, as well as how the project contributes to the applicant’s scientific career development. 

The project description must also include a description of the scientific environment in which the project will be carried out, including an account of why the chosen environment is well suited to the proposed activities.

Furthermore, a description of the connection to Danish research must be included.

The budget must include the salary of the applicant. Funding for running costs (DKK 8,000 per month) is added automatically in the budget template. 

Project supplement (indirect project costs) for applicants from Danish universities:

  • Humanities and social sciences: DKK 200,000 per full-time equivalent (FTE) per year for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and research assistants funded by the grant.
  • Natural sciences: DKK 250,000 per full-time equivalent (FTE) per year for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and research assistants funded by the grant. 

The project supplement will automatically be added in the budget template.
