Application
If you have a great idea for an initiative, please don’t hesitate to send an application. To apply, use the application form here (opens i a new tab). You must be logged in with your SDU user account to access the application form and submit your application for activity support.
If you have any questions about the application process, please write us at studentorg@sdu.dk.
Application deadline
You can submit applications on an ongoing basis. Case processing time on applications will be a maximum of 15 working days. Please note that applications are not processed in July.
Assessment of applications
A committee composed of staff employed by Student Services as well as a student representative will assess the applications received based on the application criteria. The criteria will be applied in non-priority order. Applications for funding exceeding DKK 100,000 must be approved by the Pro-rector.
Once your application has been processed, we will contact you at the email address you have provided for the project coordinator.
The committee reserves the right to reject or defer applications from associations or students who have previously received activity support.
Disbursement of grants
The funds are disbursed on an ongoing basis as a credit facility of SDU. This means that the funds cannot be disbursed as a direct financial contribution, but that the allocated funds are used by SDU paying the expenditure for which funding has been granted.
The funding pool of DKK 1 million will be divided into four portions of DKK 250,000 per quarter. Any unused funds will be transferred to the next quarter within the project period. Any unused funds will not be transferred to the new calendar year.
We evaluate the applications received on the basis of a number of fixed criteria.
In order to be considered for activity support, the application must indicate how the initiative is envisaged in relation to the criteria listed below.
Events must also comply with SDU’s declaration on freedom of research, teaching and freedom of debate and expression (opens i a new tab), and comply with SDU’s rules for borrowing and rental of premises at the University of Southern Denmark (opens i a new tab).
Funding is not provided for the following:
- Intoxicants
- Parties without any other academic or social content
- Salary payment (excluding fees for CVR registered presenters and the like)
- Administration
- Deficit coverage
- Fixed recurring expenses
- Passing on funding to associations and/or organisations outside SDU – including charitable purposes (however, funds may be used in collaboration with external parties)
