Have you thought about applying to Harvard Kennedy School but stopped at the tuition? 🧑‍🎓📚

A year at Harvard Kennedy School with tuition covered, is on the table for Danes working in and around public service.

The Crown Prince Frederik Fund goes back to 1993, when Crown Prince Frederik turned 25, and he was a student at Harvard University and a long way from home.

Danish-Americans decided to mark the occasion by raising money for a scholarship in his name, so that other Danes could follow him there.

Three decades later he is King, and the fund is still sending people to Harvard Kennedy School every year.

The Crown Prince Frederik Fund covers full tuition for the Master in Public Policy, the Master in Public Administration or the one-year Mid-Career MPA.

🇩🇰: It is open to Danish citizens with a strong affiliation to Denmark.

⌛Deadline: Thursday 17 September 2026 at 12:00PM.

International Youth Day 🇩🇰🇺🇸

The future of the Denmark–U.S. relationship is built through people & the connections they carry with them across a lifetime.

Through exchange, collaboration and shared experiences, generations of Danes & Americans have learned from one another and strengthened the ties between our two countries.

For 75 years, Fulbright Denmark has helped create those connections. And this year marks 80 years of the The Fulbright Program worldwide.

Since 1951, nearly 4,000 Danes & Americans have taken part in Fulbright exchanges.

The numbers are impressive. But the real impact is harder to measure: new perspectives, new ideas, friendships, research collaborations and a deeper understanding of each other.

On International Youth Day, we celebrate the spirit of exchange that continues across generations, and the people who carry it forward 🇩🇰🇺🇸

850 Danish soldiers now defend NATO’s eastern flank 🇩🇰🪖

This week, the Danish battalion started arriving in Latvia and will serve in NATO’s multinational brigade under Canadian command.

The Danish rotation runs through January 2027. A Danish infantry company had held the position since July, and the full battalion now takes over.

Denmark has deployed forces to the Baltic region consistently since NATO first deployed its enhanced forward presence in early 2017, and leads NATO’s Multinational Division North from Latvia.

Denmark will spend approximately 3.49 percent of GDP on core defence in 2026, and close to 5 percent including broader security-related investments. Those figures cover major purchases of U.S. equipment and substantial support to Ukraine.

Denmark continues to scale up its defence spending and its contributions to allied security, in line with its commitment to transatlantic burden-sharing.

Góða Ólavsøku! Today is the National Day of the Faroe Islands.

The Faroe Islands consists of 18 beautiful green islands in the North East Atlantic and is a self-governing country within The Kingdom of Denmark.

Did you know that rowing is the national sport of the Faroe Islands? Ólavsøka marks the end of the rowing season. There is even a local saying that the Faroese are born with oars in their hands – a nod to how deeply the sea and seamanship are woven into their history and daily life.

We wish the Faroe Islands a happy celebration!
