CORDIS : News: "Commission launches new expert group on philanthropic research funding

[Date: 2007-01-25]

The European Commission has set up an expert group to investigate how universities could raise more funds from philanthropic sources such as foundations, trusts, charities, corporate and private donors and alumni.

The creation of the group was a key recommendation of a conference on the same subject which was held in Brussels in March 2006. The new group brings together representatives of foundations, universities and research bodies from across Europe. It is chaired by William Wakeham, Vice Chancellor of the University of Southampton in the UK."
