快三砍龙 Secretary General Dr. Heide Ahrens welcomed the guests from the Danish funding organisation to the 快三砍龙. In addition to the newly elected Chairperson of the DNRF, Professor Dr. Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, the visitors included the current CEO, Dr. S酶ren-Peter Olesen, and the CFO, Steen Marcus. Representatives of the Excellence Strategy and Research Impulses division, of the聽 Scientific Affairs Departments and聽 of the International Affairs division took part in the meeting on behalf of the 快三砍龙.
Since funding of so-called "Centers of Excellence" in Denmark is the central funding instrument of the DNRF, the exchange focussed on approaches and opportunities related to the promotion of excellence in research. Both organisations found the activities of the respective other party interesting and inspiring. The 快三砍龙 and the DNRF agree that excellence always has an international component and can only benefit from international networking.
Planning provides for the fruitful exchange between the 快三砍龙 and the DNRF concerning research-related measures to promote excellence to be continued in this regard, as well as in view of further international networking.
The DNRF is an independent foundation for national promotion of knowledge-driven research across all scientific disciplines that was originally founded by the Danish parliament.听Besides the by now 40 "Centers of Excellence" across Denmark, the foundation also promotes recruitment of international researchers and advocates for Danish researchers to return to Danish research institutions.听
