Opportunities to connect and broaden perspectives

Supporting personal growth: We enable interdisciplinary learning, offer non-material support, and create opportunities and spaces for vibrant interaction among our scholarship recipients. As a foundation committed to the individual advancement of talented young people, we place great importance on interdisciplinary dialogue, personal development, and professional growth.

Alongside financial support through individual scholarships, non-material support is a defining element of our foundation’s work. We create spaces and occasions where people from diverse disciplines, backgrounds, and interests come together, connect, inspire one another, and discover new perspectives and opportunities.

Our scholarship holders enrich the work of the foundation with their diverse experiences and skills and are invited to contribute these to the broader community of fellows. In addition to our general offerings—such as workshops, lecture events, and networking formats—we also organize meetings for sharing experiences and invite participants to engage in dialogue and reflection with their peers.
