HURTIGT OVERBLIK:

SØG MIDLER:
  • Introduction to the call and answers to common applicant questions
     
  • Projects with cross-sector collaboration – Danish and international partners
     
  • One main theme per application

You can apply for funding from a total pool of DKK 88 million to develop methane-reducing technologies, plant-based food solutions, climate-friendly crops, and the utilization of biogenic carbon.

Are you unsure how to apply for funding under Pathways to 2050? In this webinar, you will get an introduction to the call and answers to the most frequently asked applicant questions.

The webinar walks you through the key elements of the call – including the four themes and the requirements for participating projects. You will gain insight into how projects should contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and support the development of a climate-neutral agri-food system towards 2050. 

In the webinar’s Q&A session, we address a range of practical questions related to the application process, partnerships, and project requirements. Here are a few highlights: 

  • A strong focus of the call is collaboration: We are looking for projects with broad, cross-sector partnerships across the value chain, involving both Danish and international partners. Your project may address multiple themes but must have one clearly defined main theme in the application. 
     
  • Funding rates are outlined in the Innovation Fund Denmark Grand Solutions Guidelines 2024 (see in particular sections 3 and 7). We recommend reviewing these before starting your application.
