Novo Nordisk Foundation is accepring applications for its Conferences, Symposia and Workshops Grant Programme 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
The purpose of the Conferences, Symposia and Workshops programme is to provide both established and early career researchers as well as practitioners with opportunities to present and discuss the newest research and innovation activities within their fields.
The following requirements must be demonstrated for an application to be eligible:
• The event must be within the purpose of the call and a field of research supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation
• The main applicant must be employed at a university, a non-profit research institution (e.g., a hospital or museum), or a non-profit professional association translating research, based within Denmark, The Faroe Islands, or Greenland. The host institution must administrate the grant.
• The main applicant must be a specific person and must be the lead organiser with relevant subject-matter competencies (e.g., a researcher at a university). I.e., the applicant cannot be a scientific society or a professional event organiser.
• Events must take place in either Denmark, The Faroe Islands, or Greenland.
• The event must be completed within 18 months of grant notification. Events planned later than this are requested to apply at one of the upcoming calls of the programme. The programme call is open biannually.
• Having an active Conferences, Symposia and Workshops grant does not exclude the applicant from applying for other of the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s grants, and vice versa. However, applicants who have major funding from NNF or other sources (DKK ≥ 10 million) must justify the need for additional funding from the CSW programme.
The application must be completed and submitted using NNF’s online application and grant management system, NORMA, which can be accessed from: https://norma.novonordiskfonden.dk. Applicants must read the “Information and guidelines for applicants” carefully as it contains essential and more detailed information on requirements and restrictions.
