Description
The LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers program supports skin researchers who spend time embedded in a research environment in another country. It connects Danish and international research institutions in both directions: researchers at Danish institutions may visit institutions abroad, while researchers at international institutions may visit institutions in Denmark.
The program aims to foster genuine international collaborations and strengthen the exchange of knowledge, ideas, methods, and technology between skin research communities. Visits may involve basic, translational, epidemiological, or clinical research, but must have a clear focus within skin research. The Foundation’s broader goal is a more cohesive and agile skin research ecosystem.
