DTU receives grants for 17 research projects from the Danish Council for Independent Research.
The grants are awarded with the aim of providing researchers in Denmark the best possible conditions for producing outstanding research results at a high international level.
The grants to DTU fall in three categories: Natural Sciences; Medical Sciences, and Technology and Production Sciences.
| Six grants in the Natural Sciences category goes to the following projects:
- ‘Is the ribosome a target for adaptive mutations?’ Grant recipient: Professor Søren Molin, DTU Systems Biology.
- ‘Sensitivity of glacier dynamics and ice sheet mass change to long-term external forcing – DYNAMIC’ Grant recipient: Associate Professor Shfaqat Abbas Khan, DTU Space.
