University of Copenhagen - KVL's Anniversary Foundation

KVL's Anniversary Foundation (Jubilæumsfondet ved Science KU)

You will receive a grant to cover costs not covered by regular funding, such as a study trip outside Denmark or the start-up costs of a research project. The amount of the grant is determined on a case-by-case basis and is not published. In total, the fund has approximately 100,000 DKK (around 13,400 EUR) available annually for the allocation of grants. The foundation is administered by the Faculty of Natural and Life Sciences (Det Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet) at the University of Copenhagen. It was established in the year 1958 to mark the 100-year anniversary of the former Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (Kongelige Veterinær- og Landbohøjskole, KVL), which was integrated into the University of Copenhagen in 2007.
