This year´s list of Danish Council for Independent Research Sapere Aude Research Talent laureates includes Lasse Folke Henriksen and Christoph Houmann Ellersgaard, both assistant professors with the Department of Business and Politics, and Jörg Claussen, assistant professor with the Department of Innovation and Organizational Economics.

The three researchers are among the 40 research talents who have been singled out for grants of DKK 500.000 for their research. 

In the case of Lasse Folke Henriksen, who does research on elite networks, the grant allows him to realise the ambitions of the project and consolidate its international profile.

”The grant helps me make contact with leading experts in the field of elite networks, through visits abroad. Moreover, it allows me to allocate resources to the development of joint publications for the dissemination in social science circles of the latest and foremost research in the field and to invite some of the leading people in the field to Denmark to share their insights with the Danish public and academia, Lasse Folke Henriksen explains.

Laureates are selected from among recipients of Danish Council for Independent Research Sapere Aude post.doc. grants.
