About us

The "Holcim Stiftung" was established in 1962 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Cementfabrik "Holderbank". The Foundation's purpose is to promote young scientists.

Projects expected to help overcome current social problems or which explore innovative methods, new perspectives or novel lines of questioning crucial to the advancement of science are particularly deserving of promotion from the "Holcim Stiftung" viewpoint.
