Overview

The DDSA Visit Grant Scholarships are designed for international students and researchers who wish to visit a data science research environment in Denmark. The primary goal of these grants is to foster collaboration and help applicants lay the groundwork for a future PhD or Postdoc fellowship application in partnership with a Danish university or research institution.

Coverage

This grant provides up to DKK 15,000 to cover costs related to travel (arrival and departure), accommodation, and other associated expenses during your visit. It does not cover salary, daily allowances, food expenses, or local transportation costs. DDSA encourages the use of public transport.

Eligibility

This opportunity is open to international students and researchers from all over the world, including those pursuing Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, or Postdoctoral studies. Applicants must intend to visit a data science research environment in Denmark with the aim of developing a future PhD or Postdoc fellowship application. Candidates should possess strong academic records and demonstrated research ability. Their scientific background must align with the fellowships offered by DDSA. Applicants are required to provide a detailed explanation of their motivation, scientific goals, anticipated results from their stay in Denmark, and how the visit aligns with their professional and academic objectives.

Requirements

Applicants are typically required to submit a research proposal, a budget plan, letters of recommendation, and a letter of support from the host institution in Denmark.

How to apply

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. You must submit your application at least one month prior to the planned start date of your travel activity. Applications are processed within six weeks. Each applicant can receive one grant per calendar year, and supervisors in Denmark can host up to three visit applicants per calendar year. The official website indicates that applications for 2026 are accepted until September 1, 2026, or until funds are exhausted, and all funded travel must be completed by October 1, 2026.

Notes

The grant aims to promote international academic connection and allows visitors to utilize Denmark's advanced research and academic facilities. It offers a chance to collaborate with leading Danish experts and build valuable professional networks for future opportunities. Please be aware that the 2026 call was closed early due to a high number of accepted applications and exhausted funds. DDSA strongly encourages the use of public transportation; private vehicle or taxi use is only permitted if justified by cost and time, and requires pre-approval from DDSA.
