About The Taraxacum Foundation

We aim to accelerate sustainable innovation and promote enduring knowledge. We believe that young scientists and researchers are the driving force behind innovation. And that innovation can ensure a sustainable world. That is why we want to retain promising master’s and PhD students for the world of research and science. As well as supporting innovative start-ups dedicated to achieving a sustainable built environment.

The Taraxacum Foundation believes in inclusiveness and bringing together innovators and accelerators. And that the symbiosis between science and art/culture is a precondition for public support and embedding.

Focus points:

Driving Real-world Impact We ensure the implementation of research results from the start with a quadruple (or quintuple) innovation helix framework approach.

Supporting young scientists We offer an enriched PhD route with coaching, research participation and meetings with peers in the Netherlands and abroad. When required, we can also offer housing and financial support.

Innovation for sustainability We support start-ups to guarantee the implementation of promising research findings that will have an impact on improving a sustainable built environment.

Inclusiveness and collaboration We encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between different stakeholders, including scientists, artists, and cultural practitioners.
