Call for applications

The UCPH School of Archaeology (SoA) invites researchers employed at the University of Copenhagen to submit applications for financial support (up to DKK 20,000) for interdisciplinary projects and activities within archaeological research.

Priority will be given to:

  • Interdisciplinary activities such as workshops, seminars, lectures and conferences to be held at UCPH
  • Writing retreats and other preparations for interdisciplinary research applications
  • Interdisciplinary summer schools
  • Interdisciplinary mentoring or training activities for ECRs

Please note that cross-faculty cooperation will be prioritized.

The total available funds amount to DKK 200,000.

SoA will not fund salary or buyout from teaching. Nor activities that have already taken place. The funds must be spent by 31 December 2026.

There is a rolling deadline, and the submitted applications will be assessed by the SoA steering committee as they come in at bimonthly meetings.

The application should include:

  • Description of activity, aim and other attempts at raising funds for this activity (1 page)
  • Budget
  • Short CV of applicant(s)
  • Expected follow-up and possible outcome

Applications should be sent as one PDF file to my@hum.ku.dk.
