Society
In addition to their own performance and innovations, the success of companies is increasingly dependent on the conditions and developments in society. schülke is therefore a long-time reliable  neighbor in the local communities of our locations, but is also a responsible international corporation in many areas. The goal of our company foundation, Rudolf Schülke Stiftung, is to promote the worldwide dialog between representatives from science and research and, in cooperation with universities, to support interdisciplinary research in the field of hygiene.

 

Regional Commitment and Sponsoring
It is particularly important for schülke to be active as a committed neighbor in the communities of our company locations. We still feel committed to our roots. schülke therefore supports the Goldbekhaus, the former company headquarters and presently an institution for art and culture in Hamburg-Winterhude, with an artists’ grant.

 

We created an outbreak databank as a scientific contribution in which all of the important infection types are registered. This databank is made available to universities, amongst others, for research purposes and in mid-2008 it will be turned over to the University of Berlin. For years, needy children have been the center point of schülke’s commitment in Vienna. At the national level in Austria, we sponsor organizations and institutions which deal with the problems of youths as well as drug abuse and child abuse. On an international level, schülke Vienna supports two projects in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan which aid children suffering from the Down’s Syndrome.

 

In the future we want to further increase our activities in medical research projects.

Rudolf Schülke Foundation
The task of the foundation, which was founded by schülke in 1972, is to promote research and development in the area of hygiene and microbiology. The emphasis here is laid on prevention and control of infectious diseases. For this purpose, in particular the development and pursuit of prevention strategies, antimicrobial and antiviral active substances as well as antiseptic procedures and disinfection and preservation shall be pushed. The goal of the company foundation is to support inter-disciplinary research and intensify cooperation with universities.

 

Since its founding in 1972, the Rudolf Schülke Foundation has bi-annually awarded scientists who have made a significant contribution to the areas of hygiene, microbiology and preventive medicine with the “Hygiene Award”.  In addition, the Rudolf Schülke Foundation awards the Hygieia Medallion to persons who have dedicated their life’s work to hygiene and microbiology.   In 2007 the Rudolf Schülke Foundation published the exposé “On the Threat of Infectious Diseases – The Necessity of Reform in Infection Hygiene” (Zur Bedrohung durch Infektionskrankheiten – Notwendigkeit einer Reform der Infektionshygiene). It is made available to the profession and is meant to stimulate discussion on the topic of infection hygiene. For this purpose the foundation also regularly invites scientists to seminars, who give their viewpoints on current hygiene topics.
