About the Organization

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.
