Rogier van der Weerd has returned to Adessium Foundation and has been appointed managing director.

This Annual Report highlights 19 partner organizations who have shared their stories about 2022, representing a cross-section of our programs. We hope this gives you a good idea of the creativity and perseverance of our grantees.
After five and a half years, we sadly have to say goodbye to our managing director, Saskia van den Dool. Saskia is taking on a new challenge, with even more focus on the themes that are close to her heart.
We are proud to present our Annual Report 2021, which gives you an impression of the positive impact our partner organizations have on nature, human lives and our society.
With great effort and motivation, we worked firmly over the last year to achieve our goals. We cooperated with 111 organizations, in short and multi annual partnerships. Our annual report is a testimony of our work.
Over the last 15 years Adessium has been cooperating with many charitable organizations. This visual shows several important highlights of our partners’ work in those 15 years.
Adessium Foundation supports research carried out by Erasmus MC and its research partners on the use of sewage measurements to detect corona infections.
With staff members of three organizations we spoke about motivation, opportunities, successes and challenges. This resulted in great, candid conversations that highlight their commitment and the will to make a difference together.
The corona crisis has a particularly significant impact on people who were already in a vulnerable position. We try to contribute to relieving the distress these dire situations can cause and have freed up resources to support a number of aid organizations.
The Coronavirus presents us all with new challenges. Here at Adessium, we are also doing everything we can to face up to these challenges.
In a very special interview our founders and director speak about many aspects of the Adessium Foundation: from the start of the organization to where we are now, more than ten years later.
