6 CREATES ANNUAL REPORT 2016 6. External Funding For the funding period 2007-2017, the Board of the Danish National Research Foundation has granted CREATES approximately DKK 80m CREATES members have been very active in attracting additional funding from various private, public, and international sources and to date approximately 83m DKK have been granted, that is double up on the grant from the Danish National Research Foundation.

As seen there has been a steady trend in the attraction of and spending of external funds over the lifetime of CREATES. This is very promising for the future prospects of CREATES funding opportunities after embedment in the department. 7. Recruitment Strategy and Gender Strategy Recruitment Strategy The recruitment policy and gender strategy in connection with openings at CREATES follow the general policy of the host institution, Department of Economics and Business Economics. Competitive openings at all levels from postdocs and assistant professorships to full professor positions are called internationally. To the extent that it is possible, calls are made with fields being as broad as possible in order to ensure the strongest possible pool of applicants. All positions with tenure and tenure-track are called at the departmental level and the final selection is a departmental management decision. For non-tenured and fixed-term positions, primarily postdoc positions, the center director in collaboration with tenured faculty of the center makes the recruitment decision. At the postdoc and assistant professor level, international calls are coordinated with the annual North American job market conference (AEA-ASSA), which takes place in the first week of January each year. Following the call, interviews of selected candidates are made during the 3-4 days of the conference. Amongst the interviewed candidates a limited number of candidates are invited for fly-out and campus visit with the purpose of further interviews and presentation of the jobmarket paper of the candidates. Based on the interviews, which may also include local applicants, job offers are being given. Often postdocs bring their own funding from external sources such as the Council for Independent Research (FSE). Gender Strategy 3 The grant from the Danish National Research Foundation, and the 14m DKK grant to support data infrastructure are excluded in the figure.
