BLOOM
Grantee: Svante Lindeburg, Fonden ADBC
Amount: DKK 3,000,000
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
The project supports and develops the annual Bloom Festival on nature and science, which is free and open to everyone, in 2026-28. In addition to the festival program which targets the public in general, the activities include the continuation of the Bloom School initiative – a one-day event targeting school children – and Bloom Explore – digital science dissemination. Furthermore, a new activity, Bloom High School, will be introduced, targeting the upper secondary school level with an additional festival day customized for this age group.
72nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin: Mechanistic Insights into Emerging Therapeutic Platforms
Grantee: Professor Sancy Leachman, Oregon Health and Science University
Amount: DKK 221,290
Grant category: Research Networking
Year: 2025
Geography: USA
The 72nd Annual Montagna Symposium will be held October 16th-20th on the Oregon Coast. The symposium will focus on emerging paradigms in personalized medicine.
Population studies have raised questions about why individuals do not respond to established therapies. Patients are individuals with personalized social, behavioral, and genetic determinants, but knowledge gaps exist regarding how these determinants influence diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous diseases. The goal is to highlight emerging avenues of investigation and streamline their incorporation into clinical medicine.
This event is designed for senior and junior level leaders in the field: scientists, dermatology clinicians, clinical, translational and basic science researchers, and trainees. The format includes lectures, discussions, and many networking opportunities which enable interaction between new and established scientists and dermatologists.

Your Amazing Skin (Din fantastiske hud)
Grantee: Anne Kathrine B. Nielsen, Caretoons ApS
Amount: DKK 989,207
Grant category: Education and Awareness Grants
Year: 2025
Geography: Denmark
This is an educational project for children aged 7-12, focused on the skin and its role as the body’s largest organ, its health, and common conditions. The cross-media initiative will create an illustrated tactile book which is developed into an e-book and audiobook, as well as podcasts, animations, and a small game, which are all interconnected and offer different ways of exploring and learning. The goal is to build children’s health literacy and stimulate their curiosity for science and understanding of skin biology. Target groups include children, parents, teachers, and venues such as libraries, science centers, and museums.

73rd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin: Resident Memory T Cells in Health and Disease
Grantee: Professor, Dept of Dermatology, OHSU Alex Ortega Loayza, Oregon Health & Science University, USA
Amount: DKK 278,850
Grant category: Research Networking
Year: 2026
Geography: USA
The 73rd Annual Montagna Symposium, Resident Memory T Cells (TRM) in Health and Disease, will be held October 15-19, 2026, in Oregon’s scenic Columbia River Gorge. TRM are specialized cells that protect against known pathogens, but when inappropriately activated, they can cause diseases such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The Symposium will share insights into TRM generation, persistence, and contribution to disease; examine how drugs affect TRM; and investigate avenues for leveraging TRM toward cures for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
This event is designed for senior- and junior-level scientists; clinicians; clinical, translational, and basic science researchers; industry representatives; patient advocates; and trainees. The format includes lectures, discussion, and networking opportunities that foster interaction between new and established scientists and dermatologists.
