Our Origins

MDPI Sustainability Foundation's initial aim was to preserve the diversity that is crucial for academic research and its wider global implications. The focus was, thus, limited to preservation of chemical compounds through the deposit and exchange of rare molecular and biomolecular research samples. These samples would then be made available to the scientific community for future research purposes and contribute to further scientific developments. Future steps were to expand this preservation effort to other types of samples and resources.

Our Mission

Since the beginnings of the Foundation, Dr. Lin’s interest in sustainability has widened considerably. He is now strongly committed to support societally-relevant research that contributes to regional and global efforts toward a sustainable world. One of MDPI Sustainability Foundation's main purposes is to promote scientific dialogue and the exchange of information among interested organizations. As part of this effort, it has initiated the World Sustainability Forum (WSF), an international conference where the Award is presented, as well as its smaller counterpart—the local Sustainability Forum. Furthermore, MDPI fosters scholarly exchange on issues of sustainability with its related publications—the open-access journal Sustainability and the edited book series Frontiers in Sustainability (FinS).

Partner of the MDPI Sustainability Foundation

The MDPI Sustainability Foundation is also in charge of Molmall, the platform to handle customer relations, maintenance and development of the compounds database, marketing and handling of the compounds. One of the main aims is to promote the Samples Collection worldwide through different activities, thus increasing the number of compounds while contributing to the samples exchange. A significant part of the operational revenue of the Molmall platform is reinvested in the MDPI Sustainability Foundation.
