Your Amazing Skin (Din fantastiske hud)
Grantee: Anne Kathrine B. Nielsen, Caretoons ApS
Amount: DKK 989,207
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
This is an educational project for children aged 7-12, focused on the skin and its role as the body’s largest organ, its health, and common conditions. The cross-media initiative will create an illustrated tactile book which is developed into an e-book and audiobook, as well as podcasts, animations, and a small game, which are all interconnected and offer different ways of exploring and learning. The goal is to build children’s health literacy and stimulate their curiosity for science and understanding of skin biology. Target groups include children, parents, teachers, and venues such as libraries, science centers, and museums.

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.
BLOOM
Grantee: Svante Lindeburg, Fonden ADBC
Amount: DKK 3,000,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants

The project supports and develops the annual Bloom Festival on nature and science, which is free and open to everyone, in 2026-28. In addition to the festival program which targets the public in general, the activities include the continuation of the Bloom School initiative – a one-day event targeting school children – and Bloom Explore – digital science dissemination. Furthermore, a new activity, Bloom High School, will be introduced, targeting the upper secondary school level with an additional festival day customized for this age group.
50 NEW Wild Scientific Experiments (50 NYE vilde videnskabelige forsøg)
Grantee: Kristoffer Frøkjær, Science Media Company
Amount: DKK 127,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
The children’s book ’50 NYE vilde videnskabelige forsøg’ (Eng.: 50 NEW Wild Scientific Experiments) is a follow-up to the book ‘Manden der fik skåret sin hjerne i skiver og 49 andre vilde videnskabelige forsøg’. This publication will present exciting scientific discoveries and experiments, aiming to increase curiosity about science among the target group of 9-14-years-olds. The book will be published by Gads Forlag and will be accompanied by a related podcast series featuring some of the stories and content from its pages.
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.
