Independent Research Fund Denmark | Technology and Production Sciences supports specific research activities based on the initiatives of the researchers and gives scientific advice within the scientific areas of the council.
DFF | Technology and Production Sciences funds researchers carrying out basic research within technology and production sciences which is a) motivated by a specific problem or by a clear application-oriented perspective, and b) aimed at solving a specific problem, developing new technologies and production systems or new ways of meeting the needs of society. Projects must contribute significantly to basic research; however, epistemological research with no applicationoriented perspectives lies outside the scope of the council.
Independent Research Fund Denmark | Technology and Production Sciences allocates research grants to researchers working within these areas. Furthermore, the council provides scientific advice in relation to technical scientific issues. Advice is given according to request or on the Fund's own initiative.
Furthermore, the Fund contributes to strengthening communication and use of research results and participates in international cooperation.
Independent Research Fund Denmark annually publishes a call inviting researchers to apply for funding for research activities within the scientific areas of the council. The call is to include information about requirements and guidelines for applications to Independent Research Fund Denmark | Technology and Production Sciences.
The council's 18 members are acknowledged researchers appointed by the Minister for Higher Education and Science in their own personal capacity.
