Of that amount, 780 000 euros, largely donated by companies, was allocated to eleven different chairs. A further 307 000 euros was donated by private individuals and companies to sponsor research projects. \u2018There were also two legacies totalling 988 000 euros, in support of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia research. These amounts naturally fluctuate from year to year,\u2019 explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/nl\/personeel\/jasmien-hoefkens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jasmien Hoefkens<\/a>. She manages the back office of the University Fund and ensures that all donations are properly registered. \u2018That\u2019s necessary so that we can later provide all donors with a tax certificate and ensure that each donation is allocated to the project chosen by the donor.

Eline: \u2018It concerns a spin-off study of <a href=\"https:\/\/isala.be\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isala<\/a>, a citizen science project focusing on women\u2019s health. <strong>Luna investigates the impact of menstrual products on the vaginal microbiome: a topic that quite literally affects half of the world\u2019s population<\/strong>. Thanks to almost 800 study registrations, the researchers were able to collect thousands of samples. These will be analysed using high-end technologies to extract as many insights as possible. This is extremely expensive research, so donations are more than welcome.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new initiative is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/en\/centres\/university-fund\/support-our-projects\/student-support\/koen-de-feyter-solidarity-fund\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Koen De Feyter Solidary Fund<\/a>, created in tribute to the former dean of the Faculty of Law, who passed away last year. Erlin: \u2018Koen De Feyter played an important role both within and beyond the university by putting justice and human rights at the centre of education, research and policy. The fund honours his legacy and <strong>supports students from partner universities in the Global South who find themselves in crisis situations<\/strong>. Concretely, there is cooperation with Birzeit University in the West Bank and the Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Bukavu in Congo.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Easily donate or set up a crowdfunding campaign via a new campaign platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference<\/strong>. \u2018Every euro counts. When many people take that step, the final result is a meaningful amount,\u2019 says Eline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why the University Fund invested in an <strong>online action platform<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/steun.uantwerpen.be\/en-GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">steun.uantwerpen.be<\/a>. <strong>This allows you to easily support an initiative, start a crowdfunding initiative of your own or make a celebratory donation<\/strong>. Jasmien: \u2018One example would be a retirement or anniversary celebration where the host asks guests to support cancer research at UAntwerp rather than bring a gift. Two such initiatives raised 12 500 euros over the past year.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Eline-Joukes-500-x-500-px.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4158 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Eline-Joukes-500-x-500-px.png 500w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Eline-Joukes-500-x-500-px-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Eline-Joukes-500-x-500-px-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Eline-Joukes-500-x-500-px-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>&#8216;Every euro counts.
