Osteology Foundation

An International Osteology Symposium will be taking place shortly. Of course the symposia are one of the core tasks of the foundation. In line with its purpose, the Osteology Foundation aims to promote research, training and cooperation between research and industry in the field of bone and soft tissue regeneration. The Osteology symposia fulfil all the three tasks mentioned:

In addition to the symposia there are other activities intended to meet the foundation's purpose.

An important task of the foundation is to fund scientific studies. Since its establishment in 2003 the foundation has evaluated 303 projects from 38 countries and provided funding to the best ones. Many of the study results have already been published in peer-reviewed journals or are being presented at the Osteology symposia. We have recently modified the application procedure so as to be able to foster yet more interesting projects. Instead of only one deadline there are now two annual dates on which applications for funding can be submitted to the foundation. To further improve our offer for applicants, we have set up a platform through which people can submit study requests to the Osteology Foundation online. Moreover the foundation will shortly be launching the Osteology Research Academy to promote the quality of research and evidence-based dentistry.
