Christmas 2022

A brief review of 2022


A turbulent year lies behind us, but the pandemic and the turning point have not changed the importance of our work. We continue to support those affected and their families, network researchers worldwide and were able to launch new research projects again last year. In doing so, we have expanded our collaboration with our most important international partners. We also continued to deal with the generational change in the Executive Board. The most important tasks have now been handed over or redistributed. At the regular Board elections in November, five of the previous seven Board members were confirmed in office. Further information at: Management Board

We would like to thank Anja Barthe and Sebastian Matthiesen for their commitment over the last few years! We can now use their support and would be delighted if you would also like to get actively involved!

The work of Hoffnungsbaum is only possible thanks to the personal commitment of the NBIA families and their families. Many thanks to all those who have started fundraising campaigns, donated themselves or supported the association in other ways!

The entire Hoffnungsbaum team wishes you a peaceful holiday season and
A good start to the new year!

Anniversary: 20 years Hoffnungsbaum e.V.


Hoffnungsbaum e.V. was founded on November 24, 2002 by three NBIA families and a few friends and relatives. We actually wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary at a family conference. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. However, we still want to celebrate the anniversary next year - how exactly is not yet clear. But it's not too late, because Hoffnungsbaum e.V. officially began its work in 2003 when it was entered in the register of associations. Read the Founding history.
