RECRUIT – Grants for International Recruitment, Spring 2026

RECRUIT is a mobility grant program aiming to strengthen Danish universities in the international competition for top researchers and talents and to build strong ecosystems within supported areas. The grants support the recruitment of researchers at the assistant-, associate-, or full-professor level to Danish universities. All candidates for the RECRUIT programme must be nominated by a Danish university, with a nomination quota allocated to each institution. Candidates must be considered excellent at their career level, with research focus within natural and technical science research and interdisciplinarity, or biotechnology and sustainability. The application process consists of two phases: first, the recruiting university evaluates and selects candidates to nominate; second, nominated candidates prepare and submit applications through the Foundation's NORMA system for review.
