Our Supporters

The International Science School could not be run without the generous financial backing of all our supporters. This includes those who have given to the Messel Endowment, the Science Foundation's campaign to secure the long-term financial future of the Professor Harry Messel International Science Schools.

Emeritus Professor Dick Collins, Head of the School of Physics and Director of the Foundation from 1997 to 2000, is donating proceeds from his book, Lots of Scars, directly to the Messel Endowment.

The Science Foundation for Physics warmly thanks the supporters of the 2007 ISS: Waves of the Future
