Skin Science Foundation

The Skin Science Foundation (SSF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating discoveries in skin science to improve patient care. Established as a joint initiative by the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR) and the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV), the foundation serves as a bridge between basic research and clinical dermatology. SSF focuses on identifying and funding high-impact research projects that address unmet needs in skin health and disease. By fostering collaboration between academia and the pharmaceutical industry, the foundation aims to translate scientific insights into innovative therapeutic solutions. Its activities include providing research grants, organizing scientific symposia, and supporting the development of young investigators in the field of dermatology.
