Faculty of Humanities

Financial support

The Faculty Equality Commission allocates funds for individual measures that help to promote equality of opportunity in university activities (studies, research). This includes measures to mitigate impediments to equal access related to family status (e.g., childcare), accessibility needs, and other potential forms of exclusion or discrimination. The Commission also supports initiatives that seek to promote a culture of diversity, inclusion, and social justice within the university more broadly.

As a general rule, the Commission does not grant more than CHF 2,000 per measure. If you wish to request a higher amount, please contact us in advance.

The commission accepts applications on a rolling basis. Fill in the online form and we will contact you as soon as possible.
