Only the most talented researchers make it through the eye of the needle and receive one of the prestigious Sapere Aude grants. The Danish Council for Independent Research has awarded grants to 39 young researchers, and four of them come from Health.

The goal of the grants is to make it possible to realise extra ambitious research objectives and create the best possible framework for participation in the international elite. The grants are up to DKK 500,000 and are awarded to the most talented researchers among the candidates who have received an individual postdoc fellowship from the Danish Council for Independent Research.
