The Eklund Foundation for Dental Research and Education will distribute €160k to selected research projects for the second year running, following the success of the four dental research projects they supported in 2016.

The Eklund Foundation was set up in 2015 by the Eklund family, owners of Swedish oral hygiene company TePe. Its primary aim is to support research and education within the odonatological field.

Open to applicants from all fields of dentistry, the Eklund Foundation will particularly prioritise projects that can be related to periodontology, implantology, and cariology in both experimental and clinical studies.

Applications will be accepted through the online portal during 1-31 May 2017 and the successful candidates will be announced in autumn 2017. For more information, visit www.eklundfoundation.org.
