32 Lundbeck Magasinet2008 Magazine 2008 the lundbeck foundation increases donations to research he lundbeck Foundation is one of the largest contributors to public sector health research in denmark. in merely 10 years, the curve of donations from the foundation has risen sharply from approximately dkk 20 million annually, to the current annual figure of some dkk 350 million. in 2007, the lundbeck Foundation donated dkk 281 million to projects in the field of health science. the Board of directors of the foundation has announced that it will donate dkk 1 billion over the next three years. the funds are to be donated to projects where they will make a significant difference. the lundbeck Foundation is the majority shareholder in H. lundbeck a/s, with a holding of approximately 70 per cent. the foundation was founded in 1954 by Mrs grete lundbeck, the widow of the founder of the company, Mr Hans lundbeck. the foundation currently has an equity of some dkk 35 billion, but it leads a relatively quiet existence in a patrician villa in the north copenhagen suburb of Hellerup, from where 10 employees run its daily affairs. the foundations director of research during the past three years is erik Juhl, former chief physician at Hvidovre Hospital in copenhagen and former t Managing director of copenhagen county university Hospitals. Increase in donations the lundbeck Foundation recently decided to donate dkk 1 billion to research in the health and natural sciences during the next three years (2008-2010). regardless of the fact that public sector appropriations are expected to rise during the coming years, we believe that there is still a need of financing for high-quality research in denmark. the increase in donations will enable the foundation to continue its strategy of supporting establishment of research centres, as well as making donations to projects, erik Juhl states. in 2007 and 2008, the foundation will support establishment of research centres whose aim is to make the results of basic science research available for patients faster and more efficiently. the large research centres are five-year projects and are monitored on an ongoing basis. A need for private funds the lundbeck Foundation has two primary tasks: to safeguard and expand the operations of the lundbeck group, and to provide financial support for high-quality research. as a foundation that operates a business, we provide financial support for public sector research, especially in the health sciences. and to receive funds it is a condition that research results are published and made available for everyone, erik Juhl explains. denmark is a small country, but it is important that we contribute actively to basic research in the health sciences. if we are not actively engaged in the development, we will not be able to reap the benefits of progress in this area. Without independent danish research and development, our health system will eventually lag far behind. We have noted with satisfaction that government support for health science research is rising. But there is obviously still a need for private funds. We can see that in the quality of the applications we receive, erik Juhl continues. selective and quick financial support in comparison with government funding, a private foundation has the advantage of being able to act quickly and more selectively. We can focus on specific areas. in this way, i believe the government and the lundbeck Foundation Destination neXt DeCaDe LUNDBECK MAGAZINE 2008 Contents LUNDBECK MAGAZINE 2008 120 million persons page 22 strategy in place for new drugs page 1 Lundbeck Magazine 2008 3 My brAin, My self page 6 Anxiety is nAturAl, PAnic is not page 14 untreAt 4 Lundbeck Magasinet 2008 creating the future now Lundbeck Magazine 2008 5 t Lundbeck, the futures demand for new drugs is the pivot of our activiti 6 Lundbeck Magasinet 2008 Lundbeck Magazine 2008 7 My brain, my self n last years danish thriller Love on Film there is a ve 8 Lundbeck Magasinet2008 Magazine 2008 despite all that has happened during recent years, the prej Lundbeck Magazine 2008 9 Modern research shows that mental disorders arise in exactly the same way 10 Lundbeck Magasinet 2008 meTro sTATIon / Kongens nyTorv / copenhAgen / DenmArK / gps: 55° 40 45.4 Lundbeck Magazine 2008 11 strategy in place for new drugs Jan egebjerg, Divisional Director of mol 12 Lundbeck Magasinet2008 Magazine 2008 produced with the aid of chemical synthesis. as of yet, lu Lundbeck Magazine 2008 13 We believe that in the future it will be possible to make far more preci 14 Lundbeck Magasinet2008 Magazine 2008 Anxiety is natural, panic is not Working as an anxiety the Lundbeck Magazine 2008 15 anxiety and panic affect not only the quality of the patients life to a 16 Lundbeck JuAn B.
