Since our founding in 2012, we have worked hand in hand with our donors to bring groundbreaking ideas to life, support outstanding talent, and honor exceptional achievements — all in support of a strong University of Zurich (UZH) and its long-term vision.
Thanks to the generous contributions of our donors, we have granted scholarships to 277 individuals, supporting them on their academic journeys. We have also helped funding 304 pioneering projects – including the establishment of a professorship in gender medicine, the digitization of Heinrich Bullinger’s letters, and the development of a promising therapy for sickle cell anemia, a hereditary disease. Academic excellence has been further promoted through our sub-foundations, which have granted 82 awards for outstanding scientific achievements across all disciplines.
The wide range of topics pursued at UZH is reflected in the diversity of the projects we support – spanning cutting-edge research and teaching, personal development, medicine, and ethics. Together, we are addressing the pressing challenges of our time.
None of this would be possible without the trust and commitment of our funding partners. In 2024 alone, 853 individuals, 65 foundations and organizations, and 46 companies contributed to UZH with a donation.
