At a moment where science is more important than ever for our societies, we want to underline the importance of philanthropy in supporting advanced research.

​​

We support :

 

1. A larger mobilization of philanthropy and civil society for research, and not expect everything from the public sector.

2. Complementarity with the public sector: foundations bring speed, agility and focus

3. Better coordination among foundations to avoid duplications and blind spots – while retaining each organization’s full freedom

4. More cooperation –  in the context of accelerated climate change, technological leaps, and pressure on free science and research
