The Vissing Foundation supports three purposes
The Vissing Foundation supports three different purposes: near-patient research in disease prevention, diagnostics and treatment, mainly related to cancer and diabetes. In addition, the Foundation supports research in sustainable energy as well as projects and activities that support marginalised children and young people.
Our purposes

“The Vissing Foundation supports our work in FitforKids – a voluntary social association that has worked professionally since 2007 to develop and provide a free children’s weight-loss programme for families everywhere in Denmark.”

“The Vissing Foundaton is supporting BROEN (The Bridge) in Horsens, which helps vulnerable children and adolescents to play sports with their friends.”

“Our study will test a gentler and more precise method of surgery for women with uterine cancer.”

Research into prostate cancer is being carried out with support from the Vissing Foundation. The project focuses on how far prostate cancer and the course of the disease can be predicted by molecular analysis of prostate tissue.

The Vissing Foundation supports a clinical study of new skin cancer diagnostic technologies. We are going to compare four different advanced skin scanners that allow dermatologists to choose the optimal treatment based on size, depth and scanning details. Cell type and blood circulation are further criteria.

The Vissing Foundation supports a clinical project that will improve the selection of people who should be offered endoscopy to identify early stages of or actual intestine cancer.

More and more cancer patients survive thanks to new and more efficient chemotherapy treatments. Unfortunately, chemotherapy comes with a lot of side effects, including nerve damages in hands and feet. The Vissing Foundation supports a project in which we investigate whether such nerve damages can be reduced or avoided by using “cooling socks”/”cooling gloves".

The Vissing Foundation supports a research project related to dialysis patients with kidney disease. In order to ensure proper vascular access, a so-called fistula is used. To ensure optimal treatment and survival, the fistula must work in an optimal way. One study focuses on these fistulas.

The Vissing Foundation supports a project related to the eye disease glaucoma. Very often, patients complain about dry eyes. Within this study, we will investigative the effect of various eye drops used as treatment for glaucoma.

In order to restrain climate changes, Denmark is implementing massive changes to our energy system in order to use 100% renewable energy sources. The Vissing Foundation supports the development of local energy co-operations as part of the transition of the Danish energy system.

More and more children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The Vissing Foundation supports a course activity within the Danish Diabetes Association whereby children aged 10 to 13, who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, learn to master their diabetes in everyday life. This happens through a ’learning by doing’ approach.
