The dialogue between Art and Science has a future in Switzerland. Although scientific research of world rank is being carried out in this country, the dialogue with art has not yet been recognised as a chance. Exchange and theory beyond the borders of the disciplines are still uncommon for Switzerland, and contrary to the Anglo-Saxon countries, are considered to be new and unorthodox. That means that there is still much to be discovered in the Swiss fields of research in this regard.

The foundation promotes transdisciplinary links of discourse between art and science in respect both to theory and practice and it wants to spread the knowledge gained in a sustainable way. For this purpose it creates thinking and working spaces for the common ideas of artists and scientists, so that, as an important cultural goal of development, they may bring aesthetic assets into public discussion.

The foundation is currently in the process of consolidation.
