A thematic call under Independent Research Fund Denmark is a political, strategic initiative within a specific theme, which is open to contributions from all scientific areas that can contribute knowledge to the theme. Thematic research functions as a supplement to independent research, which is based on the researchers’ own curiosity-driven initiatives.
Since 2018, Independent Research Fund Denmark has awarded grants within politically determined themes, financed through annual political agreements on the distribution of the research reserve.Questions and further information
