As part of the DDSA Fellowship Programme, the Danish Data Science Academy provides funding for national and international bachelor’s and master’s degree students, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to spend time with new research groups of interest in Denmark.

What does the grant cover?

• The grant contributes up to DKK 15,000 to cover costs for travel, accommodation and related expenses.

• The grant does not cover salary, daily allowances, food expenses or local transportation.

• In general, DDSA promotes the use of public transport (and encourages the use of trains/buses where possible). The use of own private vehicle is only allowed if it is more expedient in terms of cost and time, and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Who can apply?

Application is open to Danish and international students on a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree programme, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. You must be enrolled or employed at a university at the time of the planned visit, or your visit must take place within one year of having completed your enrolment or employment at the university.

When can you apply?

• Applications can be submitted all year round and will be processed within 6 weeks. – OBS! Due to the summer holidays in Denmark, there is a processing time for applications of up to 8 weeks.

• Please note, that your application must be sent prior to the start of the planned activity.

• Applicants can receive one grant per year.

• Supervisors can receive up to 3 visit applicants per calendar year.
