 installed in sloping roofs\, which he named “VELUX” (“Ve” for vent
 ilation\, and “Lux” for light).\n \nThe Velux Stiftung supports basic
  and applied research in the fields of daylight\, healthy ageing and ophth
 almology which:\n\n	stems from innovative\, out-of-the-box ideas\,\n	is re
 levant beyond the borders of a single discipline\,\n	can accelerate resear
 ch by removing bottlenecks\,\n	enables implementation of research and\n	wh
 ose results will be promoted and/or implemented inside and outside academi
 a.\n\n \nProjects outside these fields\, but under medicine and biology (
