Call: Prequalification for Mads Øvlisen PhD Fellowship Applications 2025

at  KADK

The PhD School of the Royal Danish Academy is inviting applications for prequalification for an upcoming fellowship opportunity: the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s 2025 Mads Øvlisen PhD fellowships in art history and practice-based research.
This pre-qualification process amounts to an idea phase, which could result in an actual PhD application to the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
The purpose of the fellowships is to provide talented graduates with the opportunity to pursue a career within the fields of art-historical and practice-based research into art, thereby supporting the highest level of development of these fields in Denmark.
Applicants can apply for a PhD fellowship within the field of research into pre- or post-1900 art history, or within the field of practice-based research into art or curation. The fellowships are of three years’ duration.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation is expected to publicise their call for 2025 in November 2024. The call will resemble that for the last round of applications, which, together with the application guidelines, can be found here: https://novonordiskfonden.dk/grant/mads-oevlisen-ph-d-stipendier-i-kunsthistorisk-og-praksisbaseret-forskning-2023/

For the final applications, Novo Nordisk applies the following evaluation criteria:

• The quality, originality and methodology of the project.
• The academic qualifications of the applicant.
• For practice-based projects: the artistic/curatorial dimension and realisation of the project.
• The likelihood of the project’s realisation, incl. supervision and relevance within the research environment of the host institution.
