Reporting

In a vivid discussion led my Professor Denis Monard between young scientists and the audience, possible financing methods were discussed. In South Africa, there are plans to increase taxes for the rich in order to ensure health care. However, urban development at a higher level does not take place that could also include the aspects of health care and education. For the use of personalized medicine, a larger interest from doctors, patients and media is necessary. It is an area that has to be discussed in a broad and understandable way. There is no point in discussing personalized medicine only in scientific journals.

The ETH Board is responsible for the strategic leadership of the ETH domain and assumes the supervision of its institutions. Its close relationship with the ETH Council has contributed to the successful continuation of Academia Engelberg Foundation since 2000.

The Foundation promotes research into the connecting human fundamentals of science. Academia Engelberg Foundation and the Foundation for Basic Research in Human Sciences have entered into a cooperation agreement for the period 2011 to 2015.

A partnership with the University of Lucerne has existed since summer 2013. Since 2016 we have also a parthership with the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Lucerne. Through these partnerships, synergies are used and joint projects are tested and realized.
