Elite Research Prize
Every year, the Ministry of Education and Research awards five Elite Research Prizes and up to twenty Elite Research travel grants to some of the country's brightest and most talented researchers and research students.
The purpose of the award is to create awareness of excellent researchers and the results of the research. In addition, Elite Research must also highlight the researchers as role models to attract more young students to a research career.
The award is presented at the annual Elite Research award ceremony, attended by the Minister of Education and Research, the Royal Household, and representatives of the Danish research world.
