About EU-DK Support

EU-DK Support was launched as an initiative of the innovation strategy of the Danish government, ”Denmark – a nation of solutions”, in december 2012.

EU-DK Support supports Danish participation in EU programmes and helps companies, researchers and other relevant users to utilise the possibilities for EU funding within research, innovation, commercial development and entrepreneurship.

EU-DK Support also helps foreign researchers and enterprises to identify and contact  the appropriate Danish researcher, enterprise or municipality for their EU application.

This collaboration is to ensure that Danish researchers, companies and other user groups receive well-qualified, effective and timely help and advice in their EU work. In addition, Danish researchers, knowledge institutions and companies can get an idea of possible sources of EU financing, and whom they can contact in order to get help. The advice is provided according to the “no wrong door” principle.
