The DSfN has received funding from the Lundbeck Foundation for a number of scholar stipends, to our members.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30. September 2024 @22:00

The scholar stipends provide financial assistance to pre-graduate students who are pursuing a research project within Neuroscience.

The purpose is to offer promising students the opportunity to dedicate extra time to their master thesis project or a sabbatical/intern research project. Stipends can be given for 6-12 months, with a 12-month stipend corresponding to 120.000 DKK in salary and 20.000 DKK in running costs.

Application:

The student and the supervisor together define the research project, which is to be conducted at a Danish research institution by a student enrolled at a Danish university.

The project description should include background, aim/hypothesis, project plan, time plan and references. If the scholarship period is combined with the master thesis project, it should include a time plan for both parts as well as the proposed progress obtained by the additional months provided by the scholarship.

The scholarship should be initiated no later than March 1., 2025.

It is expected that the student will get insight into project design, technical skills related to the research project, manuscript preparation, and at the end of the project reports to DSfN.
