The foundation accepts applications for visits by guest researchers of one to three months. The foundation only accepts applications for reasonable expenses of the visiting scholar in connection with the visit in the form of a visit grant and travel expenses or wages and travel expenses. This means that the foundation does not accept applications for both wages and a visit grant.  Aarhus University recommends applications to AUFF’s board following expert guidance. The size of the total amount awarded may differ from year to year.

Evaluation of applications will especially focus on the following:

The research qualifications of the guest researcher.

That the guest researcher is a senior researcher at a high level (often, though not necessarily, permanently employed at a university). Applications for support for visiting scholars at postdoc level or similar are usually not granted.

The guest researcher’s contribution to the already existing research environment within the given field, e.g. how does the visiting scholar’s profile fit the existing environment, and what is the potential for development of new projects and collaborations during the visit? Similarly, great emphasis is placed on whether the visiting scholar contributes to the teaching, for example by taking part in already existing courses or by planning new courses.

The guest researcher’s contribution to the development of the university’s international research network, including especially the establishment of new collaborations.

That activities and goals, including plans for both research and teaching, are clearly stated in the project description.

The quality of the research environment at Aarhus University of which the guest researcher will be a part.
