Welcome to the IK Foundation - an international, independent learned organisation for promoting natural and cultural history.
For more than two decades IK has worked for a better understanding of the natural and cultural history of our world by means of, among other things, field work, research projects, exhibitions and publications.
As an independent and not-for-profit organisation - with a strong reputation for excellence, interdisciplinary thinking, in-depth knowledge and long-term results - IK continues to develop unique international networks of cooperation and finance in order to fulfil its mission.
A mission in which we believe that it is the
right of everyone to have access to good
knowledge of both local and global natural
and cultural history and that an interdisciplinary and historical approach to these subjects probably |
 |
 |
 |
makes it easier to understand life as it is today and face the future - something that affects all of us on planet earth.
The IK Foundation is and will remain an informal, pure and simple organisation. Our staff and collections are distributed in small units around the world, so that our external interface - apart from the results that we achieve - is primarily our website. Here we invite everyone to participate in our mission and, like the more than two-centuries-old lone windswept pine-tree in the IK Foundation logotype, to continue to scatter seeds in a mutable world...
Sincerely yours,
Lars Hansen
Executive director |
