Areas of Cooperation
FNP welcomes collaboration with organizations and companies for which education and science are important areas of support and engagement. The scope of the donor-partner’s involvement is flexible and can be tailored to mutual needs.
Examples of Cooperation Models
Partnering with a Selected FNP Programme
Companies and corporate foundations can participate in scientific programmes as strategic partners. This status reflects shared goals and highlights the significance of cross-sector partnerships. It also grants the company exclusive industry representation within the programme.
For example, an organisation may choose to support young researchers in the START programme or aid scientists at risk of exclusion due to war uder the FOR UKRAINE initiative.
Funding Scholarships for Researchers in Specific Scientific Fields
Another way to engage with FNP is by providing funding for scientists in a particular discipline. For instance, an organization active in the fuel industry may choose to support scholarships for chemistry researchers, while a pharmaceutical company may fund biologists and medical scientists within the START programme.
This collaboration strengthens areas of strategic importance to the donor-partner while enhancing the organisation's image as an innovator.
