72nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin: Mechanistic Insights into Emerging Therapeutic Platforms
Grantee: Sancy Leachman, Professor, Oregon Health and Science University, US on behalf of Montagna Symposium on the Biology of the Skin (MSBS)
Amount: DKK 221,290
Grant category: Research Networking
Year: 2025
Geography: USA
The 72nd Annual Montagna Symposium will be held October 16th-20th on the Oregon Coast. The symposium will focus on emerging paradigms in personalized medicine.
Population studies have raised questions about why individuals do not respond to established therapies. Patients are individuals with personalized social, behavioral, and genetic determinants, but knowledge gaps exist regarding how these determinants influence diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous diseases. The goal is to highlight emerging avenues of investigation and streamline their incorporation into clinical medicine.
This event is designed for senior and junior level leaders in the field: scientists, dermatology clinicians, clinical, translational and basic science researchers, and trainees. The format includes lectures, discussions, and many networking opportunities which enable interaction between new and established scientists and dermatologists.

Scientific Studies – Didactic, Student Motivation and Everyday Realism (Naturvidenskabelige undersøgelser – didaktik, elevmotivation og hverdagsrealisme)
Grantee: Kristoffer Brink Ladefoged, Danmarks Naturfagslærerforening
Amount: DKK 900,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
Danmarks Naturfagslærerforening (Eng.: The Danish Association of Science Teachers) is publishing an anthology on didactic models and methods facilitating an experimental and investigative approach to natural science teaching in Danish schools – with a main focus on motivating students and offering solutions suited for direct implementation in the everyday teaching effort. The book called ‘Naturvidenskabelige undersøgelser – didaktik, elevmotivation og hverdagsrealisme’ (Eng.: Scientific Studies – Didactic, Student Motivation and Everyday Realism) will be distributed by the teachers’ association to its members and will be available for ordering or downloading for others, for free.
Through the researchers’ eyes (Med forskernes øjne)
Grantee: Karsten Elmose Vad, University of Copenhagen, GLOBE Institute
Amount: DKK 993,090
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2024
Geography: Denmark
The project Through the researchers’ eyes aims to improve natural science education in the lower secondary school by applying a teaching method known from the arts, Visual Thinking Strategies, which focuses on strengthening students’ skills within observation, description, and discussion – key elements also of the natural science disciplines – to stimulate students’ curiosity and active participation. The project is a collaboration between both education experts and university researchers from Copenhagen University, experts from VTSdanmark and chosen teachers.
Super-krop!
Grantee: Experimentarium Science Center, Kim Gladstone Herlev, CEO of Experimentarium
Amount: DKK 9,000,000
Grant category: Standalone grants
Year: 2024
Geography: Denmark
The science center Experimentarium in Copenhagen will open a major exhibition about the human body in 2026. The exhibition is called Super-krop!, which means Super body, and aims to illustrate the interaction between the body and behavior, targeting a younger audience.
Super-krop! is supported by the LEO Foundation alongside the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation, and Ole Kirk’s Foundation with a total of DKK 30 million.
Full of knowledge (Fuld af viden)
Grantee: Anne Engedal, Videnslyd A/S
Amount: DKK 1,500,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2024
Geography: Denmark
Fuld af viden is a continuation of the well-established science podcast series ‘Kraniebrud’ from Videnslyd. The podcast will investigate interesting phenomena and topics from a fact-based perspective through discussions with invited scientists and visits to their labs and studies. The series will be hosted by experienced science journalists, who will present the listeners to all kinds of phenomena from a different unexpected perspective. The weekly episodes will have an increased focus on younger scientists and their research. It’ll optimize the auditory experience and create shorter episodes that are better suited for the podcast format than the original series.
