RICE BIOTECHNOLOGY:
IMPROVING YIELD,
STRESS TOLERANCE
AND GRAIN QUALITY
The Novartis Foundation is an international scientific and educational
charity (UK Registered Charity No. 313574). Known until September 1997
as the Ciba Foundation, it was established in 1947 by the CIBA company
of Bask, which merged with Sandoz in 1996, to form Novartis. The
Foundation operates independently in London under English trust
law. It was formally opened on 22 June 1949.
The Foundation promotes the study and general knowledge of
science and in particular encourages international co-operation in
scientific research. To this end, it organizes internationally
acclaimed meetings (typically eight symposia and allied open
meetings and 1520 discussion meetings each year) and publishes
eight books per year featuring the presented papers and discussions
from the symposia. Although primarily an operational rather than
a grant-making foundation, it awards bursaries to young scientists
to attend the symposia and afterwards work .with one of the other
participants.
The Foundation’s headquarters at 41 Portland Place, London WIN 4BN,
provide library facilities, open to graduates in science and allied disciplines.
Media relations are fostered by regular press conferences and by articles
prepared by the Foundation’s Science Writer in Residence. The Foundation
offers accommodation and meeting facilities to visiting scientists and their
societies.
