Villum Infrastructure

Villum Foundation wishes to strengthen access for the best Danish research environments to cutting-edge research equipment that will enable world leading research within the technical and natural sciences. Projects can target new equipment, custom-built equipment, or upgrades to existing equipment or facilities. The 2026 Villum Infrastructure call has a total budget of DKK 50 million. Individual project applications can be DKK 6-35 million. The grant period is up to 6 years for projects over 15 MDKK and 4 years for projects up to 15 MDKK. Applications should state a compelling vision for the research enabled by the infrastructure in question, including an account of the current state-of-the-art of the field and the strategic relevance and long-term potential for bringing Danish research to the global forefront. The application should describe the commitment of the host department and connections to ongoing and potential new projects. Plans for continued development beyond the granting period and accessibility for other researchers and institutions should be included.
