Independent Research (DFF) • Funds for research • Finance Act funding • The Board distribute means for independent research among the five specialist research councils (faglige forskningsråd) • Up to one fifth can be distributed for specific initiatives, eg. joint council-initiatives • Political prioritized instruments (programmes) on the Finance Act

  4. 13,8 mill EURO amount for research grants 2010 Tak til Lars Christensen, FI
