With its limited resources, GEBERT RÜF STIFTUNG seeks to launch new initiatives by bundling its activities into specific areas of activity. Because it periodically redefines its areas of concentration, it does not maintain differentiated and consolidated programme lines. Since the activity areas are temporary, new capacity is continually freed for the development of new ones.
