About Education and Awareness Grants
Through our Education and Awareness Grants, the LEO Foundation wishes to strengthen the pipeline of future researchers within the fields of medicine, chemistry, and pharmacy, and to raise awareness about science, including skin and skin diseases.
The proposed activity or project should have a clear philanthropic aim and must be carried out in Denmark.
We welcome applications for activities and projects that:
- spur the interest and strengthen the capabilities of children and young people within the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields
- disseminate research-based knowledge to the public
- increase public awareness about science and its role in developing our society
- promote public knowledge and understanding about skin, skin health, and skin diseases
Please note that we do not accept applications or pitches:
- for activities that are not based in Denmark
- from students for support of their education, external research stays, etc.
Please read the application guide for the full call text and further information about the eligibility criteria, application and evaluation process, and requirements for the content of the application
