Mission & Vision
Our mission is the sustainable funding of pioneering research projects in oncology and neurology. We believe in the power of scientific innovation and aim to support projects that contribute to elucidating disease mechanisms and advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer and neurological disorders. As a non-profit foundation, we see ourselves as a catalyst and reliable partner for researchers and institutions both domestically and internationally.
Target groups
Funding is provided primarily to natural persons, associations, non-profit organizations, and public and private law entities both domestically and abroad, who conduct or initiate research projects in the fields of oncology – investigating the causes of cancer – and neurology – researching Alzheimer’s, migraine, Parkinson’s, and other neurological disorders. The foundation targets scientists from various disciplines and institutions who pursue innovative and interdisciplinary approaches.
