We believe in the power of medical research to improve the lives of tomorrow. That is why we support groundbreaking projects in cancer research – courageously, responsibly and with a clear focus on patients.

Our actions are characterised by diligence, integrity and a deep sense of responsibility towards society. We use our founder’s resources in a targeted and impact-oriented manner.

Our funding relationships are based on trust, fairness and transparency. We support our grantees reliably and respectfully – from the application stage to project completion.

People are at the heart of everything we do – whether they are applicants, employees, committee members or management. We are united by a common goal: to enable new approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment through excellent medical research. This conviction is what drives us – for your future.

As a foundation, we are constantly evolving. We reflect on our actions and promote exchange – both internally and externally. Because new perspectives can only emerge through dialogue.

As a team, we work on an equal level and with high quality standards. We treat each other with respect, support one another and value our different strengths.

We value honest, direct and transparent communication – within the foundation, with our partners and with the public.

We are committed to other initiatives and value alliances, such as the principles of good foundation practice.
