About LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers

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:
