NEW SETTING FOR SCIENTISTS

摘要

It was no coincidence that the ground was broken for the Carlsberg Foundation's new researcher apartments on the 200th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the brewery, J.C. Jacobsen, as he was a great patron of the sciences. He set up the Carlsberg Foundation in 1876, at the same time as he formally handed over the brewery to the Royal Danish Society of Sciences and Letters. Since then, the Carlsberg Foundation has not only run the brewery, but funded basic research in the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. Its subsidiary, the New Carlsberg Foundation, was established in 1902, when J.C. Jacobsen's art-loving son Carl thought the time was right to set up a fund for the arts.
