Purpose

The aim of the Foundation is to promote early-career scholars in communication science. The support is primarily aimed at researchers in Switzerland who wish to pursue an academic career (post-docs, advanced doctoral students). The Foundation acts in a subsidiary capacity to existing funding programs and does not make direct payments to individuals.
