TrygFonden’s Drowning Research Unit

Each year, lives are lost to drowning.

Drowning is a preventable cause of death with significant impact on families, communities, and society.

 

At TrygFonden’s Drowning Research Unit, our mission is to advance understanding of why drownings occur, how they can be prevented, and how survival and recovery outcomes can be improved.

 

Our vision is clear: to reduce the number of preventable drownings in Denmark by half. We pursue this goal through high-quality research, research that can be turned into education, and close collaboration with authorities, lifeguard organisations, healthcare professionals, and communities.

By translating evidence into practice, we strive to make Denmark safer in and around water, and ultimately to save more lives.
