Leo - Education and Awareness

Through our education and awareness grants, the LEO Foundation wishes to strengthen the pipeline of future researchers within the fields of medicine, chemistry, and pharmacy, and to raise awareness about science, including skin and skin diseases.

We welcome applications for activities and projects that:
- spur the interest and strengthen the capabilities of children and young people within the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields.
- disseminate research-based knowledge to the public.
- increase public awareness about science and its role in developing our society.
- promote public knowledge and understanding about skin, skin health, and skin diseases.
