There are several licenses/permits from different Danish authorities that may be relevant and necessary for your work. The table below provides you with an overview of the different type of licenses.

Got questions on how to proceed? Please contact emed-vet@sund.ku.dk.

For the animal experiments permit and the GMO breeding permit, you need to fill in the "B scheme" with information about responsible persons and the facility. Please see our Guide for filling out the B scheme.

In addition to a permit for animal experiments, AEM requires you to fill out a project plan for individual experiments and breeding. The project plan is an internal work document which must be approved by a veterinarian at AEM before you can begin an experiment.  Please go to "Get started" to find the templates for the various types of project plans.
