Researchers receive Grants for unconventional research ideas
Every year The Villum Foundation’s Experiment programme supports bold and innovative research projects, and this year three researchers from iNANO have each received DKK 1.9 million for their unconventional research ideas.
The Villum Foundation has recently supported 51 innovative and unconventional research ideas through its Villum Experiment Programme. The programme is known for its high-risk factor and potential for significant breakthroughs, supporting research projects in their early stages.
The research ideas span a wide range, from scent technology to AI and sustainable biomaterials. Thomas Bjørnholm, Research Director at the Villum Foundation, explains the purpose of the Villum Experiment Programme is to give bold research ideas a chance: “Villum Experiment represents the unexpected and the untested. Here, we support researchers who dare to take chances, and we know that some of these projects can lead to groundbreaking discoveries. Our goal is to give space to ideas that can change the world—even if they may seem completely wild at first.”
