Master’s Thesis: Culture of Giving
The federal government and the cantons bear the main part of the costs of Swiss uni-versities and guarantee a standard-quality of education. For excellence and more au-tonomy, universities are striving to obtain additional financing resources such as do-nors, foundations or companies. Unlike the US and UK, fundraising for universities in Switzerland is only in the beginning stages and so is the related research. In collabor-tion with the Lienhard Foundation, we provide the opportunity to close this research-gap: We offer fellowships in the amount of CHF 1’000 for master’s thesis on Swiss cul-ture of giving.

- Value-chain in the foundation sector: in what sense will digitalization change foundations’ business models, financing and theme selection?
