The LEO Foundation has awarded five Serendipty Grants, with a total of just below DKK 18 million, in its latest round of funding. These grants are reserved for existing LEO Foundation grantees and awardees globally, who during their work on a project funded by the Foundation, have made an unexpected discovery, which lies outside the scope of the project originally granted.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientific breakthroughs often originate from researchers following their curiosity in investigating unexpected discoveries. This is the essence of the Serendipity Grants program that nurtures the researcher to pursue novel and unexpected \u2013 serendipitous \u2013 research ideas and findings. Now explorers of unexpected ideas \u2013 Assistant Professor Nathan Archer, Professor Ya-Chieh Hsu, Assistant Professor Esther Hoste, Reader Shoba Amarnath and Associate Professor Philip Scumpia \u2013 have received Serendipity Grants from the LEO Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith our Serendipity Grants, we would like to support discoveries that, within the context of the pursued project, can be seen as unsuccessful or outside scope but still might have the potential to generate brand-new insights and knowledge,\u201d says Anne-Marie Engel, Chief Scientific Officer at the LEO Foundation, and continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are also keen on funding established researchers who wish to pursue exciting novel ideas that may be on the fringes of their current field of expertise, and we promote an approach where openness to new discoveries is key, as we believe it can support researchers in exploring promising new research paths. We are looking forward to following these five grantees\u2019 new insights as they pursue the new research questions raised by their unexpected findings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by curiosity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s five Serendipity grantees are all set to transform unexpected findings into valuable new scientific insights. They receive a total of DKK 18 million to explore their ideas and findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can read more about the five grantees, their research projects and their serendipitous ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
