FOCUS AREAS
The Stallergenes Greer Foundation aims to create healthier futures for all by focusing on three key areas.
Advancing scientific research to bolster innovation and precision medicine
By focusing on scientific innovation and research, the Stallergenes Greer Foundation aims to support the scientific community in furthering allergology research to discover and develop novel solutions for people with allergic diseases.
Supporting academic initiatives to further develop future generations of allergy healthcare professionals
Because the future of allergology is being prepared today, the Stallergenes Greer Foundation encourages and supports the emergence of innovative academic projects.
Engaging in climate action and environmental protection to progress the prevention and treatment of allergies
Because the quality of the air we breathe has significant consequences on our health and can exacerbate chronic respiratory diseases1, the Stallergenes Greer Foundation is committed to raising awareness about climate change and environmental protection for the benefit of populations around the globe.
In 2023, the foundation will allocate up to 150,000 € for outstanding work led either by a young scientist or a mid-career scientist to advance precision medicine in the field of allergy, or outstanding work in the environmental field to advance the prevention and treatment of allergies.
