Free research funding for researchers at the Department of Biology
A shower of research funding has rained down over the Department of Biology, supporting a wide range of projects – from quirky questions about whether moss is the boss, to the evolutionary history of the water buffalo and to communication networks in fat. Ten groundbreaking research projects have just received millions in grants from the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
Independent research has amazing conditions at the Department of Biology!
Ten excellent research projects can now see the light of day, due to support from the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
Every year, DFF-Research Project1, also known as FP1, supports free, researcher-initiated research across all main scientific areas.
