Human Rights Research Grants

Human Rights Research Grants - Expenses Covered

An RPP grant covers expenses in relation to accommodation, insurance and international flights.

Moreover, research partners will receive a monthly stipend to cover living expenses in Denmark. Research partners will be provided accommodation by the Danida Fellowship Centre (DFC) in central Copenhagen.

DFC handles the administration of the grants and organises numerous social-cultural events.

As the cost of living in Denmark is high, research partners should not expect to be able to save money.

These grants do not allow research partners to invite family members to Denmark.

Human Rights Research Grants - Eligibility & Criteria

The programme is primarily for persons who have experience in human rights-related research and/or work.

The minimum requirement for applying is a bachelor’s degree and preference will be given to those possessing a master’s degree or equivalent qualifications.

The applicant must be professionally affiliated to an institution (NGO, university, etc.) in a developing or transitional country.
