Description
This grant program from the Novo Nordisk Foundation aims to inspire and engage broad audiences in Denmark through innovative science communication and public dialogue projects. The focus is on natural sciences, technology, sustainability, climate, energy production, and health, with an emphasis on countering misinformation and increasing access to reliable scientific knowledge. Projects should use novel approaches to actively involve target groups—children, young people, or the general public—primarily outside the formal education system. The Foundation encourages creative use of any media or methods, provided they align with the project's objectives and audience.
