Description
The Science Engagement and Communication (SEC) grant from the Lundbeck Foundation is designed to strengthen the dissemination of research-based knowledge within society, focusing on neuroscience, the brain, and brain-related disorders. The program supports projects that inspire and engage young people to pursue science, particularly neuroscience, as a career, and aims to communicate knowledge about the brain and brain disorders to the public. Projects may include a wide range of engagement and communication activities such as knowledge sharing, exhibitions, festivals, podcasts, lectures, documentaries, and TV series.
