Burckhardt-Bürgin Foundation
Pursuant to the will of both donors: “the purpose of the foundation is to serve academic research and studies; in other words, the interest of the assets is to be used to awarded scholarships to talented students from all faculties and grant funding for scientific and academic research.” The foundation charter can be read in the Office of Early Career Researchers' Development.
At an extraordinary meeting in October 2023, the Foundation Board decided to revise and realign the current funding purpose of the Foundation. Further information will follow in the course of 2024.
