The aim of the Foundation is to promote early-career scholars in communication science. The support is primarily aimed at researchers in Switzerland who wish to pursue an academic career (post-docs, advanced doctoral students). The Foundation acts in a subsidiary capacity to existing funding programs and does not make direct payments to individuals.
Dr. Dominique Wirz (DCM, University of Fribourg) is responsible for the foundation administration and conference organization and can be reached at dominique.wirz@unifr.ch.
The list of all events organized by the Foundation since 2001 can be found on the German website.
