US

Why support us

From the outset, our founding principles have been:

  • an impartial commitment to science for over 30 years
  • a scrupulous management of resources
  • a strong personal commitment by our founders (time, money, ideas)
  • a particular focus on young researchers
  • close links to our community.

Our Foundation works in the life sciences field, contributing to advancing knowledge in fields that affect us all.
All proceeds from the scientific research carried out in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies are re-invested to finance the basic lines of research needed to develop the drugs of tomorrow. This research consists of annual work programs, whose costs are often unsustainable for the Foundation.

We therefore rely on the help of all those who believe in the value of scientific progress and who are willing to lend us their support, allowing us to achieve more in a shorter space of time.

Sponsor a Researcher

We all too often hear about researchers forced to go abroad in search of more rewarding professional opportunities and better economic recognition.
The numbers are disconcerting: tens of thousands of young graduates leave Italy every year, only some of whom will ever come back. An immense blow to Italy, which invests in training its own young people only to lose out on their talent, skills and creativity.

The IRET Foundation is committed to offering job security to its researchers, with clear benefits for the research they perform. But we cannot do this alone. Our own funds are often insufficient, and we rely on the help of those prepared to make a tangible contribution to our work.

Financing the work of our researchers or a specific research project translates into meritocracy and freedom of research, helping to restore Italy’s position as an attractive research option, nurturing our talents and contributing to scientific progress.
