Danish Council for Independent Research

The Danish Council for Independent Research (Danish: Det Frie Forskningsråd; DFF) of Denmark funds research and gives advice to government and parliament. The Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (DASTI) oversees its activity. As of 2012 the council has five sub-councils: Humanities, Medical Sciences, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Technology and Production Sciences.[1]

The council signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities in November 2011.[2] In 2014 the DFF initiated a controversial "experimental one-year government research-funding scheme specifically for women."[3]

As of 2005, the Danish Research Agency (est. 2004) coordinates the DFF as well as the Danish Council for Strategic Research and the Danish Research Coordination Committee.[4]
