Visit of the Werner Siemens-Foundation

Shortly before Christmas, the Board of Trustees of the Werner Siemens-Foundation, under the leadership of its President Hubert Keiber, visited the Jungfraujoch research station. The President of the ETH Board, Prof. Michael Hengartner, accompanied the Board of Trustees.

The Werner Siemens-Foundation supports pioneering technical and scientific projects at Universities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The reason for the visit was the establishment of a new research center for molecular quantum systems at the Universities of Bern and Basel, which the foundation will support with 15 million Swiss francs over the period 2025–2035.
