The Importance of the Foundation

The Importance of the Foundation

"Research funding without special commitments means a lot for the research at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience. About 40 percent of the Institute's income is linked to specific research projects, most of which come from the Research Council of Norway and the European Research Council.
 
The greater the income without commitments, the greater the opportunities for new research initiatives that in the long term can receive funding from others. Therefore, the strengthening of the research fund of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, The Research Fund of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, means a lot to achieve the goals we have set."

- May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser

“With the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Edvard and May-Britt Moser demonstrated the high scientific quality of the research carried out at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience. Further ground-breaking brain research requires funding without special commitments.

The Research Fund of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience is the research fund for the Kavli Institute. The institute, along with the Kavli Foundation in the United States and TFSR, aims to increase the total endowment to NOK 250 million by the end of 2025. This has the full support of NTNU. If TFSR succeeds, it will make a very important contribution to future research at the Kavli Institute.”

"May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser proudly impressed the nation when they as the first Norwegians got the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Their research has proven the brain's internal GPS and can help solve the Alzheimer's mystery. The work has been made possible by skilled employees, access to public resources and private capital - especially through The Kavli Foundation.
 
I encourage you to contribute with capital to Norwegian research. Your contribution can be crucial to realizing new research results that prepare Norway for the future and change the world for the better."

- Erna Solberg, former Prime Minister of Norway
