About LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers
The LEO Foundation will be closed from Friday 11 July to Wednesday 30 July 2025. During this period, we will not be able to respond to inquiries regarding funding opportunities and application processes. We appreciate your understanding and will address all messages as soon as possible. In the meantime, we encourage you to consult the application guide.
The purpose of the LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers program is to stimulate a cohesive and agile skin research ecosystem by supporting temporary embedment of skin researchers in a foreign research environment with the aim of fostering genuine international collaborations and strengthening the exchange of knowledge, ideas, methodology, and technology between Danish and international skin research communities.
A LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers grant can be up to DKK 2 million for a research visit of minimum 3 months.
Applicants must be at or above postdoc level.
The program is anchored in Denmark, i.e., an applicant from a Danish research institution can apply to visit a research institution abroad, or an applicant at an international research institution can apply to visit a Danish research institution.
Please consult the Application guide for further information on eligibility criteria, requirements for the content of the application, and the evaluation process:
