  • DKK 6-8 million is awarded to talented young researchers who are setting up their own research group for the first time. Applicants must have between two to eight years of research experience since the completion of their PhD.
  • The programme is announced once a year in an open competition with an application deadline in June. In 2023, seven DTU researchers received YIP.
  • In 2021, the programme has been supplemented with a so-called additional grant called YIP+, which will ensure a stable research career for the most talented Villum Young Investigators.
  • In 2022, four researchers — three of whom come from DTU — have all demonstrated their abilities as research leaders and will now each receive a YIP+ grant of almost DKK 4 million.
