Carlsberg Mindelegat

Carlsberg Foundation

Support for researchers’ communication of their own research or field of research to promote popular education and general interest in basic research and science. Carlsberg Mindelegat wants to promote collaborations between researchers and professional communicators in order to strengthen research and the position of science in society and in public conversation and debate.

The purpose of Carlsberg Mindelegat is to:

Support communication of basic research and science to non-scientific audiences
Support researchers’ communication of their own research
Strengthen the communication skills of researchers and contribute to a steady increase in the participation of researchers in public conversation and debate
Promote relationships and collaboration between researchers and professional communicators
Increase public interest in, and curiosity about, science, scientific themes and current research
Strengthen awareness of, and confidence in, reliable scientific sources, partly with a view to countering disinformation with fact-based knowledge

What can be applied for

Communication projects for a period of maximum two years with an application amount of DKK 50,000-200,000.

The project can be independently defined or form part of a larger project, and the project may be co-financed with funds from another party.

The project must involve the communication of basic research or science. Basic research is understood as curiosity-driven experimental or theoretical work undertaken to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts.

The project must be based on the applicant’s own research or research field.

The project must involve collaboration with professional communicators with documented experience of e.g. journalism or media production.

The budget may include

Costs associated with the production of communication content
Payment of professional communicators and any student assistants
Costs associated with the development of communication platforms
Costs associated with the communication and distribution of the project, including making the project accessible free of charge on payment platforms

What cannot be applied for

Projects with an applied scientific focus or clinical health-scientific research
Projects focused on educational recruitment
Projects focused on media training of as well as coaching and teaching communication to researchers
Purely commercial purposes
Research publications and teaching materials
Information campaigns
Hosting or participating in conferences, workshops and courses
Citizen Science projects
Buy-out (salary) of the applicant or other researchers
Remuneration for the applicant or other researchers

Audiences and accessibility

The project must be aimed at non-scientific audiences primarily in Denmark: the wider population, from children and young people in primary and lower-secondary school and upwards.

The project’s principal communication must be accessible to all interested parties free of charge such as subscriptions, paywalls or entrance fees. Distribution via libraries, including book loans, eReolen (digital books), is regarded as a supplement to the requirement for free access.

The communication must, in general, be freely accessible from the time it is published.

The communication may be in Danish or a foreign language, but it must be linguistically accessible to a broad audience in Denmark.

Communication formats

The project may be based on any type of communication format (or multiple types), including TV productions, documentaries, podcasts, new science journalism initiatives, festivals, lectures and debates, animations, publications and SoMe productions.
