As part of our commitment to reducing carbon emissions in research activities, we offer a green scholarship to encourage participants to consider their carbon footprint when choosing how to travel to Copenhagen. The total budget is 1500 EUR, split among the selected applicants (for example 10 applicants receive 150 EUR each, or 2 applicants 750 EUR each). To apply, send us (pes-summerschool@dtu.dk) a short letter via email by the end of June 2027 with your travel tickets and a calculation of the carbon emissions avoided per km by your choice of travel (for example, taking the train instead of flying). An internal committee then decides how the budget is split.
The scholarship is paid as a reimbursement of travel expenses. You can claim your actual, documented travel expenses up to the amount awarded, so the reimbursement is the lower of the awarded amount and your actual expenses. Any unused portion of the award is not paid out.
