EUROPA - Investing in European Research: "Philanthropy for research and innovation
In most European countries, with the exception of the UK, philanthropy does not focus on research. However, successful experiences show that philanthropy could help fund research, particularly in areas with important benefits for society such as health-related research.
The Commission is exploring possible initiatives to develop the role of philanthropic organisations (charities, foundations and trusts) as means to raise additional funds for research and innovation.
A European 'Philanthropy for Research' Forum will be set up in 2006 to facilitate sharing experience and to develop joint initiatives in this field. This could lead to proposals in 2006-2007, with a number of legal and fiscal issues to address.
These issues are explored in the report 'Giving for Research for Europe' published in January 2006 on the role of Foundations in the research field. See our full report [ - 382 kb]. "
