Fellows are strongly encouraged to use the extensive data available at Danmarks Nationalbank for their research, collaborate on research projects, present their work to the banks economists.
The fellowships offer support for 6 to 12 months, and requires that the fellow will present his research plan in a seminar at the beginning of the fellowship, present his results at the end of the fellowship, and submit for publication in the Danmarks Nationalbank working paper series his research work within one year of the start of the fellowship.
