HUM:Global Seed Money

Call for applications for activities planned for the academic year 2024/2025

All staff and students at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen are invited to submit applications for HUM:Global Seed Money.

Note that applications from students must be supported by a senior researcher (VIP) who will be the financial owner of the project.

HUM:Global Seed Money offers

Grants of between 10,000 DKK and 35,000 DKK for activities in the categories

  • research
  • teaching
  • stakeholder/public/policy engagement

e.g., guest-lectures, workshops, symposiums, seminars in connection with writing applications for external funding.

The activities should fall within HUM:Global’s area of interest, namely global themes and approaches that allow us to break with ideological, spatial, temporal and scientific barriers and biases that stand in the way of us engaging with our subject matter, with an eye for its global characteristics and significance. Though not a requirement, proposals that involve diverse global partners, non-academic collaborators, and which operate across disciplinary and institutional boundaries at the Faculty of Humanities are encouraged.

The planned activities should take place within the academic year of 2024/2025.

How to apply

  • Send an application of max. 5 pages that includes a project description of 1-2 pages and your short CV, as well as a simple budget.
  • Submit your application electronically as one PDF-file to the Global Humanities coordinator, Nicol Savinetti on globalhumanities@hum.ku.dk
  • Submission deadline: 23:59, Sunday 19 May.
