Mercator Foundation Switzerland

Support and Interconnectedness

With the aim of conveying the value of science in our society, the Mercator Foundation Switzerland will support the joint efforts of Collegium Helveticum, Academia Engelberg and World Knowledge Dialogue (WKD) during the next four years as part of its ad-vancement for science and research.

Key issues of human society have reached a high level of complexity in our globalized economic and media world. The cooperation between different disciplines can show new solutions to these issues. Thanks to the support of the Mercator Foundation Switzerland, Academia Engelberg can provide platforms for the interdisciplinary dialogue. This dialogue will lead to new concepts and ways of implementation.

“The support provided by the Mercator Foundation Switzerland allows the interconnectedness of institutions with regard to people, issues and strategies. In addition to that, it increases the impact on the general public, politics, economy and education sector due to the synergetic effect”, as Dr. Dominik Galliker, Vice President of the Academia Foundation Engelberg explained.
