Call for applications to the 2025 Global Innovation Network Programme

Overview

The fourth call to the Global Innovation Network Programme (GINP) is now open for applications. The overall purpose of the Global Innovation Network Programme (GINP) is to give added value to the research and innovation ecosystem in Denmark nationally and increase the global impact of Danish research and knowledge-based innovation internationally in areas with significant innovation potential by means of institutional cooperation. The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science hereby calls for application for networking activities under the GINP

Purpose and Ojectives

GINP makes it possible for the eligible applicant:

To establish relations and interaction with relevant stakeholders with little or no existing relationships. Thus, the applicant can form new networks with international partners.
To deepen and/or expand the relationship and interaction with partners and valuable stakeholders in already well-established international networks. Thus, the applicant can take initiative and set a direction by developing new activities for a more specific engagement within the stakeholder network in a particular area of interest. The added value to an existing network must be thoroughly
described.

The objectives are:

To strengthen international networks in order to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to societal and global challenges and provide long-term possibilities and added value for the applicant, the partner(s) and other stakeholders in Denmark.
To support the realisation of the global potential for Danish research and knowledge-based innovation by providing access to valuable international partners in the eligible countries and to enable increased collaboration with these partners under national and international funding and investment programmes that target Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3-7

Application

Applications should be submitted electronically via E-grant in order to secure an equal assessment of the applications. A link can be found here. In addition, the application should be in English, in order for the international partner(s) to be actively involved and must contain the following appendices:

Budget (template available)
Activity plan (template available)
Letter of endorsement for senior management of applicant organisation (template available)
Letter of Commitment for partners (template available)

Declaration of aid under ‘de minimis’ regulation. Private companies as partners can receive a share of the GINP grant according to the rules on ‘de minimis aid’ (Commission Regulation (EU) No 2023/2831 of 13 December 2023 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid- the general de minimis regulation). The Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science may at its discretion decide to increase the
overall budget for this call, particularly in case of excess funds when faced with a substantial list of
qualified applications in this call that cannot be funded within the original budget.
