About

Fund collaborative research on electron transfer between biological and synthetic components, including enzyme–electrode interfaces and electroactive microbes. The programme encourages rigorous mechanistic work and integration of data science or AI, rather than development of a specific end product. Consortia of two to four groups may request DKK 30–75 million over six years. A qualifying European lead institution and Danish participation are required. First-stage applications close on 7 October 2026.
