the Tuborg Foundation. Trade and industry, art,
culture, education and sport have all received
grants.
In particular, the Tuborg Foundation has
supported trade and industry and the education
of young business people. Each year, since 1950,
the Tuborg Foundation has supported student
trips for young people.
The foundation has also donated significant
amounts to the study of economics in universities
and business schools. Each year, the business
economics prize of the Tuborg Foundation is
awarded to seven PhD students. Each prize is
DKK 150,000 for a six-month stay at a university
or college in the US. The prizes are awarded to
students who have shown particular interest in
business economics and who have achieved
significant expertise within the field.
The foundation has also supported trade
organisations through grants to so-called contact
groups in the regional towns of Vordingborg and
Aalborg, helping small companies to establish
sales channels in other European countries in an
easy and inexpensive manner.
