Innovation Fund Denmark is looking for forepersons for the Grand Solutions committee

Innovation Fund Denmark is looking for leaders to lead four new committees, each with its own thematic focus. The committees must assess and decide which applications in the foundation's Grand Solutions program will receive an investment.

Innovation Fund Denmark is now looking for persons to lead four Grand Solutions committees within each thematic area. The committees will consist of both well-established, international research profiles and impact experts who can assess the strategic and commercial potential for Denmark.

As the person responsible for a committee, you must meet the criteria for an impact expert and have solid and comprehensive knowledge and recent experience within one or more specific professional domains that relate to the theme of the committee.

The application deadline is 8 May 2024.

In mid-May, the call is followed by several open calls, where Innovation Fund Denmark is looking for the other members for the four new Grand Solutions committees.

The establishment of the new committees is part of the fact that Grand Solutions, the Innovation Fund's program for ambitious, cross-cutting research and innovation projects, introduced a completely new application and assessment process at the opening of the 2024 application round. The new process must increase the user-friendliness and efficiency of applicants and ensure a more transparent assessment.

From now on, the four thematic committees will assess and decide which applications will receive an investment.

Facts: The committee's four themes

• Life Science, health and welfare technology
• Green research, technology and innovation
• Quantum technology
• New technologies and artificial intelligence
