Get Pasteurised!
At Pasteur Foundation - UK, we do things a bit differently…
We are a science led foundation and are keen for our members and donors to be given the opportunity to learn how our scientific research teams are using their donations.
As a supporter of Pasteur Foundation-UK, you sit at the heart of our mission and will be invited to meet our scientists, learn about our work and gain a depth of understanding into the public health challenges you are helping us to tackle.
There are three ways to support Pasteur Foundation - UK, sign up to our free Membership Programme, support us as a donor or, if you would like to make a more personal commitment, contact us about Major Donor opportunities and joining La Guilde de Pasteur...
What does your gift support?
Any gift, whatever the amount, directed to any part of our strategy has a tangible impact in assisting the foundation and researchers on both sides of our partnerships to make important progress in tackling global public health challenges. More than one third of the budget of the Institut Pasteur comes from the generous contributions of donors. Your support is essential to our mission to benefit global public health.
​
When making a gift to Pasteur Foundation - UK, you can chose to support one of our three funds (Education, Research and Discovery). Alternatively, if you would like to make a more personal commitment, you can contact us to discuss funding an entire project.
​
By making a gift to Pasteur Foundation - UK, you are facilitating better cross-border collabortation and ultimately helping to fund research for the benefit of humanity.
Our Funding Pillars
Pasteur Foundation - UK funds three key areas of collaboration; research, education and discovery:
International collaborations are a key experience for any scientist and we believe this to be an especially crucial step for young researchers.
​
The Pasteur Foundation - UK Young Researcher Mobility Fund operates across all levels of higher education to allow early-career scientists to gain firsthand experience in the labs at Institut Pasteur and leading UK based research institutions. We believe this initiative to be essential in training the next generation of scientific leaders. We seek to make this key experience accesible for all young scientists, regardless of their financial situation through our fully-funded programmes.
Education
At Pasteur Foundation – UK, we acknowledge that the challenges we face today – whether in research, public health, medical innovation or public trust – are too vast and global to be solved by any single institution or country and thus we seek to promote mutually beneficial cross-channel research through strong partnerships with many leading UK institutions.
​
All our research projects are science-led and spring from organic connections between researchers who have sought a collaboration due to the mutual benefit of sharing skills.
Research
​
We are aware that cross-border collaboration is only possible if researchers are given the opportunity to interact and explore opportunities with other scientists working in their field.
​
At Pasteur Foundation - UK, we are firm believers in the importance of scientific workshops, symposiums and conferences that give researchers the freedom to discuss, share and explore with no hidden agenda. The opportunity to discover potential connections and collaborations is key and we have seen many succesful Pasteur- UK partnerships that started in this setting.
Discovery
Following your project
As a donor, you will have the opportunity to follow the progress of the project your donation is helping to support. This can include reports from individual researchers, tailor made events around the project your donation is funding and regular updates on research progress.
A key focus for us is allowing you as a donor to engage with the research you are supporting and feel a part of the science that your generosity is helping to make happen.
​
Major Donors will also be invited to join La Guilde de Pasteur and to be part of a circle of donors who share with you the urgent need to support scientific research for the benefit of all and who also believe in the power of cross-border collaboration and Franco-British unity.
