Professorships and Scholars

The Kavli Foundation has supported professorships over the years with select academic partners. The professorships were initially established with an endowment gift from our founder, Fred Kavli, and remain an enduring commitment of the foundation.

Our program aids scholars seeking new work environments due to extreme circumstances that interrupt their scientific research, from civil unrest and geopolitical strife, to climate change catastrophes, natural disasters, and other factors that disrupt daily life and severely impact societies.
