Founded in Geneva in 2015, Fondation FondaMental Suisse is the first Swiss structure dedicated solely to the support of scientific cooperation and international research into mental illnesses.
Our goal
is to improve the lives of patients and their families as quickly as possible by developing personalised medicine in psychiatry.
Our objective
is to open up new paths by sharing know-how, interdisciplinarity and participatory innovations.
Our vision
is based on dialogue between researchers, clinicians and patients. Patient participation is at the heart of our approach.
These are
to combine intelligence, skills and research at an international level to accelerate progress for the benefit of all.
How?
We fund collaborative projects of Swiss teams with other teams around the world. By capitalising on the Franco-Swiss axis, the challenge is to share best practice: enrichment is mutual and results are multiplied up.
Because relying on international scientific cooperation represents a rare and unique potential
Because the level of research in Switzerland and France is excellent
Because the ambition of the research projects selected at this level necessarily goes beyond borders
Because together we’re stronger
Because the teams selected have complementary qualities and needs
Because the programmes to be funded are truly innovative
Because pairs of identified teams are ready to pool their knowledge and resources
Because patients must be at the heart of the process
Because progress and the benefits for patients are within reach
Exchanges between research teams
The mutual enrichment that openness and sharing of experience brings
The pooling of skills
The sharing of clinical data
Patient involvement
Everything is in place to speed up progress and quickly find new treatments.
