Support for the conduct of PhD seminars, research group meetings, workshops and summer camps at Sandbjerg Estate

The foundation receives applications on an ongoing basis.

Applications are submitted online through https://auff.grant.nu/profile.

Objective

Provide financial support for PhD seminars, research group meetings, workshops and summer/winter camps at Sandbjerg Estate, thus reducing the self-payment of the participants. Support can amount to a maximum of 400 DKK per calendar day per participant in the high season (Q2 (April, May, June) and Q3 (July, August, September), and a maximum of 800 DKK per calendar day per participant in the low season (Q1 (January, February, March) and Q4 (October, November, December)), and grants for financial support are only awarded for full calendar days. A full calendar day includes overnight stay.

Grant applications for summer camps at Sandbjerg Estate may include support for accommodation and wage costs in connection with summer/winter camps where researchers teach other researchers.

See Sandbjerg Estate's presentation video (in Danish). 

As of 1 June 2015 a new pricing structure was introduced for Aarhus University’s use of Sandbjerg Estate. The price per calendar day was reduced by 25 %. This change has been introduced to make it more attractive for employees at Aarhus University to use Sandbjerg Estate as a conference centre. The discount applies to the price per calendar day, not for other meals.

Sandbjerg Estate Calendar Day  

One calendar day at Sandbjerg Estate includes:

• Classroom with AV and IT equipment and Internet.
• Overnight stay in single room.
• Breakfast.
• Morning coffee/tea.
• Lunch buffet incl. fruit and coffee/tea.
• Afternoon coffee/tea and home-baked cake.
• Two-course dinner buffet (chef’s choice) and coffee/tea.  

If the event takes place in the current year, no grant will be awarded, but instead a preliminary reservation of funds for a research stay at Sandbjerg Estate will be made. The research stay can only be granted once the applicant has updated their application in GrantOne by creating a message in the system that includes the final number of participants. This must be done no later than two months before the event.

When accessing your application to create a message, select the "dialogue" menu item on the right-hand side of the website. A new window will open. Select "new" at the top and write your message. The message will automatically be linked to your application. If no response is received, the reservation will be cancelled.
