Description
This grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation is aimed at strengthening scientific and technical aspirations, knowledge, and competencies among children, young people, and the general population in the Danish Realm. It supports creative and engaging projects that communicate topics and facilitate public dialogue in the areas of natural sciences, technology, sustainability, climate, energy production, and health. Projects can use any type of media or channel to inspire broad audiences, raise societal awareness, facilitate knowledge-based debates, and counteract misinformation. The focus is on projects that actively engage and involve their target groups, demonstrate novelty, and share knowledge and experiences with other actors. Projects may be independent or part of larger initiatives, and applications to extend existing projects must include results and evaluation of previous phases.
