Our mission for 2025–2028
|
|
|
| Over the past few months, we've been working closely with various partners such as Swissnex, the SNSF, researchers, and other funding institutions to refine our strategy.
Going forward, all of our initiatives will be guided by three core principles:
- Addressing global challenges holistically – supporting interdisciplinary and solutions-oriented research
- Bridging the gap between knowledge and action – enabling researchers to translate ideas into real-world impact
- Fostering lasting relationships – building sustainable collaborations beyond individual projects
