Research Scholarships

Research Scholarships provide financial support for international finance researchers that join the Danish finance research community from abroad

The Research Scholarship program at the Danish Finance Institute supports international recruitment of researchers. The Research Scholarships are awarded in co-operation with the research departments at the participating universities.

Criteria

Research Scholarships can only be awarded to researchers recruited internationally. A researcher is regarded as having been ‘recruited internationally’ when the researcher has worked and lived abroad for the past 20 months at the start of the employment period at a participating university. The researcher may, however, have held a part-time position at a Danish University, as long as this is not the researcher’s main employment and as long as the researcher has not been a resident of Denmark during this period.

Recipients of a DFI Research Scholarship are required to be DFI Research Fellows. If the recipient of a scholarship ceases to have main employment at a participating university, any remaining part of the scholarship is revoked.

Period and allocation

Research Scholarships are typically awarded up to 6 years for new researchers recruited from abroad. Research Scholarship are awarded by the DFI management based on objective criteria listed in the document Principles for DFI Scholarship Programs. In cases of doubt, the Scientific Board makes the decision.
