\u2018On our fifteenth anniversary, we honour our founder, whose generous donations, has made it possible for the foundation to support forward-looking research to the benefit of society,\u2019 says Chair of the Board Stener Kvinnsland. \u2018The foundation\u2019s name as of today is the Trond Mohn Foundation.\u2019<\/p>\n

The foundation recently launched a national research programme on antimicrobial resistance amounting to NOK 80 million bringing its research support to more than NOK 1 billion. The University of Bergen (UiB) and Helse Bergen health trust have been the primary beneficiaries. In recent years, other institutions in Norway that cooperate with institutions in Bergen have also received funding.<\/p>\n

\u2018Giving is the greatest gift,\u2019 says Trond Mohn<\/strong>
\nOne of Norway\u2019s most successful industrialists has also become the country\u2019s greatest philanthropist.
\n\u2018It is a great pleasure to see the donations contribute to building expert environments in Bergen and across Norway,\u2019 says Trond Mohn.<\/p>\n

The donations stimulate young talent, and provide the research environments the opportunity to do something extraordinary for Bergen and Norway. We emphasise quality, cooperation, healthy competition and usefulness to the public and society at large,\u2019 says Trond Moen.<\/p>\n

\u2018Gifts that make a difference,\u2019 says Stener Kvinnsland<\/strong>
\n\u2018The Trond Mohn Foundation is unique in Norway. I have seen for myself how much of a difference Trond Mohn and the foundation can make. The lives of numerous patients have improved, and Norwegian research has progressed to the very forefront of international research. After many years in the public health service, I now spend most of my time and capacity as Chair of the board of the Trond Mohn Foundation,\u2019 says Stener Kvinnsland.<\/p>\n

All our work is carried out in the spirit of Trond Mohn and with deep respect for social structures and freedom of research. In the end, quality is what matters.
