The Hasler Foundation performs its work primarily through the support programs which it initiates.
Active support programmes
To achieve specific objectives, the Hasler Foundation launches special support programs where the Foundation itself commissions projects. In the case of active support programmes, not only the projects themselves but associated measures such as PR work are also financed.
Invitations for theme-based projects
Regularly every few years, the Hasler Foundation invites proposals for support programs on a specific theme. The projects that are put forward are judged according to their relevance to the theme and their scientific quality.
The following funding programmes are currently active:
Hasler Mercator Digitalization & Democracy (launched January 2025)
Hasler Responsible AI (launched in 2021)
