Reasearch Programme Committee
In order to ensure high academic standards and to avoid allocating resources to fields of research that have already been researched – or are currently the focus of projects by other researchers – the Board has set up a Research Programme Committee. The committee is composed of leading Danish and international professors from the areas of research that have been prioritised by the Foundation. The Research Programme Committee is always consulted before the Board makes the final decision on whether or not to grant a donation to a research project.
