Funding

Artistic Research Funding Programme (KUV-Puljen)

The International Center for Knowledge in the Arts administers and coordinates the Artistic Research Funding Programme – the funding allocated by Ministry of Culture Denmark for Artistic Research. Institutions of higher education that operate under the aegis of Ministry of Culture Denmark and are financed mainly by Ministry of Culture Denmark, can apply for funding. The funding programme has existed since 2013. Each year, it awards approximately DKK 7.5 million to the various institutions for Artistic Research. In order to apply for funding, the project manager must be permanently attached to the institution that is making the application.

Funding can be applied for once a year (in the autumn). The 2022 application deadline is October 21, 2022 (for projects to be conducted starting in 2023).
Applications should be sent to: kuv@artisticresearch.dk

Application Procedure

The Center serves as a sounding board and provides guidance for employees at all institutions on the formal application issues in the context of the application round. The institutions provide their own advice on the specific disciplinary content of the projects. The Center can then provide advice on the overall structure, formal requirements and clarity of applications, and the interdisciplinary aspects and options within the field of Artistic Research.

You can contact the center at kuv@artisticresearch.dk to ask questions about the application and/or set up a meeting – either physically or on zoom.
