The Foundation supports cutting-edge research in the humanities and social sciences, ensuring concrete tie-ins with issues that affect our everyday lives. It supports students pursuing a PhD, honours top researchers and establishes strong connections with leading figures in the professional field. By fostering collaboration between the Scholars, Fellows and Mentors who receive our support, the Foundation brings together exceptional leaders who work together to find tangible solutions to the key challenges of our time.
