Final Report Template - Technical and Natural Sciences
Final report template - Technical and natural sciences
The final report is used by VILLUM FONDEN to monitor the progress of grant holders’ research results, the project organisations and other issues related to their projects. Furthermore, the report provides VILLUM FONDEN with information on how the terms and conditions of the programmes work in general.
Final reporting on grants within the area of Technical and Natural Sciences is made up of three parts.
- Submission of scientific output in Researchfish[1]
- Submission of accounts and a revised budget by e-mail to your contact at VILLUM FONDEN
- Submission of a brief written final report by e-mail to your contact at VILLUM FONDEN.
This template outlines how to write the final report. The report will be evaluated by the secretariat and the board of VILLUM FONDEN; thus it is important that the report is written for non-specialists within the field of research.
The above-mentioned three parts form the basis for the final payment from the grant.
