The Danish researcher scheme

The Danish Researcher Scheme gives publicly funded researchers and projects access to register data from Statistics Denmark (DST) and the Danish Health Data Authority (SDS). As an advisory body under DeiC, KOR helps create the framework for Danish register researchers by negotiating the terms of the Researcher Scheme with the research service units (FSE) at DST and SDS, respectively, by allocating a basic grant for the operation and development of the FSEs.

In order to qualify for the Researcher Scheme, your research institution or organization must be authorized. By applying to DST or SDS, institutions and other organizations can be authorized to access microdata (data at the individual level) at a reduced hourly rate and with predictable delivery times. The data is worked with within closed and secured computer environments called research machines.
