## Description

The Letten Foundation is a research and educational foundation established in 1986 by Professor Letten F. Saugstad (1925–2014). Its work supports basic research, with particular emphasis on birth defects and selected aspects of mental illness that can deepen understanding of brain structure and function. The Foundation also prioritizes research into the health effects of environmental pollution and other adversities, supporting broader understanding of the relationship between people and their environment.

Alongside its research focus, the Letten Foundation provides educational grants, organizes international conferences, and presents awards recognizing outstanding achievements. Its activities include the Letten Prize, with information about past winners, as well as connections to research and academic initiatives such as the Letten Centre and the Young Academy of Norway. The Foundation publishes its rules and regulations and information about its board, donations, and visual identity. Through these grants, events, and awards, it advances research and education in areas aligned with its mission while fostering knowledge and recognition across its fields of interest.
