DARA participated in the Science Cluster Day 2025, hosted by the Novo Nordisk Foundation earlier this week. This annual event brought together grant holders and key stakeholders to recognize impactful research and strengthen connections across projects, disciplines, and institutions. As a newly established academy, DARA greatly valued the opportunity to engage with Denmark’s outstanding scientific communities.

We are once again grateful for the strong interest in our DARA PhD fellowship calls. With both calls closing on the 20 of February, the evaluation process is now underway. We expect to announce the recipients of the DARA Winter 2025/26 calls in June.

We are pleased to see that our partner, the Danish Data Science Academy (DDSA) has received DKK 75 million in renewed funding from the Novo Nordisk Foundation for 2027–2031. The funding enables the academy to continue strengthening Denmark’s data science ecosystem through fellowships, training activities, and collaborative initiatives.
