The AAU Fundraising and Project Management Office is hosting a dialogue meeting regarding the Independent Research Fund Denmark with focus on DFF1 and DFF2 projects.

How are the applications evaluated? What are the roles of the different research councils? What makes a good application? What are the most common shortcomings that evaluators find? These are some of the questions which we will seek to answer during the meeting.

To do this, we have invited AAU representatives from the DFF Research Councils as well as an AAU researcher who has had success with their application. The meeting will have a short introduction to DFF, followed by a presentation from a grantee, and is concluded with a panel session, where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions for the panelists.

The invited speakers and panelists for the meeting are:

• Dorte Hammershøi, Professor, Department of Electronic Systems
• Bo Poulsen, Professor, Department of Politics and Society
• Michael Havbro Faber, Professor, Department of the Built Environment
• Henrik Nielsen, Professor, Department of Clinical Medicine
• Torsten Nygård Kristensen, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Bioscience
