27 February 2024<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LEO Foundation introduces two new grant programs \u2013 Research Networking Grants and LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers \u2013 to enable collaboration and knowledge exchange amongst skin researchers, and across institutions and borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two new grant programs, the LEO Foundation will support research visits to and from Danish institutions and international networking initiatives respectively. The LEO Foundation has maintained a long-standing commitment to funding leading skin research and now extends its strategic focus to also support catalyzing a strong and thriving skin research ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst Research Networking Grants will support conferences, meetings, symposia, and workshops open to international skin research networking, LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers will fund research visits \u2013 either for skin researchers based in Denmark wishing to visit an institution abroad or for international scientists wishing to visit a Danish institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two new grant instruments both open for applications today, 27 February 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers are available to skin scientists who desire a change in research environment for an extended period. The grants provide international and collaborative opportunities for skin researchers, awarding up to DKK 2 million per grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new program, the LEO Foundation hopes to stimulate the exchange of ideas, knowledge, methodology, and technology across institutions and borders, as Chief Scientific Officer at the LEO Foundation Anne-Marie Engel describes in more detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope that the LEO Foundation Visiting Researchers will help to nourish the skin research ecosystem by encouraging international collaborations amongst researchers, fostering new insights into the skin and skin diseases, and establishing Denmark as a hub for the exchange of knowledge and research talent.\u201d<\/p>\nAnne-Marie Engel, Chief Scientific Officer at the LEO Foundation<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The funding program is available to all researchers at postdoc level or above. For early-career researchers, this means an excellent opportunity to obtain new knowledge, immerse oneself in a new and foreign research environment, and develop professional capabilities and network. For more established researchers, it offers the additional benefit of face-to-face collaborations, hands-on research, and a chance to discover and rekindle inspiration in a different setting to one\u2019s usual research environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
