Serendipity Grants

With the Serendipity Grants, the LEO Foundation seeks to enable active grantees to perform explorative investigations of novel and unexpected, serendipitous, ideas or discoveries that have emerged as a consequence of investigations performed during a current LEO Foundation-funded project. The discovery or idea should be outside the scope of the original project and may even reside outside the primary research focus of the grantee. The discovery or idea should be at an early stage of maturity where it would be unlikely to receive support via other LEO Foundation funding instruments. A Serendipity Grant can last for up to two years and has a limit of DKK 4 million, including administrative costs. The Serendipity Grants program is announced once a year in open competition.
