Dear researchers and friends of research,

Research is an expedition into the future. As providers of support and funding for this expedition, we would like to wish you and the entire scientific community a new year full of ideas, inspiration, and discoveries. New findings open up new perspectives – we hope your 2026 will be a year of scientific successes.

Here’s to a relaxing holiday season and a lively start to the new year!
