Funding for student projects

UCPH Green Solutions Centre (GSC) offers funding for cross-disciplinary student projects and welcomes all ECTS projects and reports relevant to the green transition. Funding can be used for materials, analyses, rental of equipment, consumer-oriented tasks, etc., but not for salary and travel.

Requirements:

• The applicants must be enrolled students at UCPH. Projects with a min. two students from different disciplines are given a higher priority, but one student is also accepted.
• Funding is up to DKK 15.000 per student.
• The project must have relevance for the green transition.
• The project must have an element of cross-disciplinarity/cross-disciplinary approach (include knowledge from another discipline than your main study area. GSC can help find a cosupervisor or sparring partner).
• There must be some kind of collaboration with an external partner (e.g., a company, public authority, NGO). GSC can help find the external partner.
• Application must include:
  - Short project description (~½-1 page) approved by supervisors*, including time-period
  - Budget
• The student must disseminate findings from the project at a public/semi-public event or similar (students' choice) and as a short article (~one page) to be posted on the GSC homepage. Students can get professional help and feedback for this part.

The GSC Secretariat will process applications on an ongoing basis. The application must be sent to GSC@ku.dk, and questions can be sent to Mette Frimodt Møller, memo@science.ku.dk.

Topics:

Student projects can be based on ongoing collaboration with external partner, the student's own idea or topic/theme for the project or get inspiration from existing project ideas.
