The Schörling Foundation

The Schörling Foundation was instituted by the Schörling family in 2014. The Foundation is run without profit and has its financial base in a donation made by Melker Schörling, the founder of the company.
The Foundation’s purpose is to promote scientific education and research. This is done by supporting current and urgent projects run by institutes or individual researchers. In addition, the Foundation supports projects, organizations and individuals who encourage the development of children and young people.
"The Swedish FTD Initiative" is a research project founded and supported by the Foundation. The goal is to strengthen the collaboration within research so that one day effective treatment against FTD (frontotemporal dementia) will be offered. Two professors from Karolinska Institutet and two professors from KTH have together had the opportunity to build a consortium for research on the disease over several years.
In the beginning of 2022, The Schörling Foundation decided to grant funding to Karolinska Institutet, Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Research Group Thoracic Surgery. The purpose of the donation is to enforce the devlopment of cardiothoracic surgical technology and methodology and the related reserach by the group.
