Fundraising and Project Management's Investigator Career Grants Team focuses on investigator-driven grants (forskningslederbevillinger), such as proposals for The European Research Council (ERC), Sapere Aude, and similar PI-driven grants offered by the Danish private foundations, including Villum Fonden, and Novo Nordisk Foundation.

HOW WE WORK
We offer competitiveness assessment of researchers’ profiles and comprehensive guidance and support for individual researchers, proposal feedback, and interview training. We work closely with local fundraisers and management to identify coming applicants and help AAU faculties and departments to promote and target these types of funding opportunities. We offer a course on ERC, as well as webinars and info meetings about different career grants.
