The EANS Foundation serves as the docking station to donate funds for specific purposes in a totally transparent way. From smaller amounts of money to bigger sums, regular financial contributions, or the donation of objects, the EANS Foundation will provide the adequate channel to fund or to stimulate scientific or educational progress and projects. The Board of Trustees and the Scientific Committee and the administrative personnel of the foundation were selected to be free of any conflict of interest, and they will be happy to help you select the right project for your interest and to find the right format for your personal or your corporate contribution. Obviously, the Foundation has strong links with the EANS, but it represents a separate legal body to fulfill the requirements of the federal organ regulating Swiss foundations.
The projects are as diverse as neurosurgery itself! You may get a glimpse on what is neurosurgery about through the EANS website again:

OUR SCOPE
The scope of research and clinics in neurosurgery ranges from traumatic brain and spine injury, may it be through sports or road accidents e.g. on the way to school or to work through all kinds of affections of the brain or the spine and the spinal cord and the peripheral nerve system. Should you be interested to become a donator, there is the option to either define a project together with your surgeon or with our scientific committee, or to donate for existing fields of research. Our team will be happy to help you in finding the right project for your donation and to keep you informed about the progress being made with your support and to maintain good contact with the beneficiary. To give you some ideas, here some areas of research, which are covered by EANS neurosurgeons – in children and in adults:
The above list is meant to just give an idea about the variety of fields where the EANS Foundation may help you to find the right project within our EANS community of several thousand academicians and clinicians for your donation. It is by no means exhaustive!
