The Nursing Science Foundation Switzerland supports research projects. One focus is on researching phenomena of nursing practice - also and especially under interdisciplinary aspects.

Scientific publications and print contributions are supported if they contribute to the development of nursing research.

The Nursing Science Foundation Switzerland supports events that broaden the horizons of nursing professionals, have an interdisciplinary approach or deepen the public's understanding of contexts related to nursing science.

Nursing professionals should be given the opportunity to further develop their skills. Therefore, the Nursing Science Foundation Switzerland specifically promotes young nursing scientists.
