Since its launch, Gebert Rüf Stiftung’s Scientainment funding programme has supported 109 projects with a total amount of CHF 16.8 million. The funded initiatives have tested new approaches to science communication and have helped make scientific topics accessible to a broad audience.
The experience gained from these projects shows what successful science communication is built on: it reaches people through strong channels and established media partnerships, relies on innovative, accessible formats, and emerges where science, media, culture, and education collaborate strategically. The decisive factor is not only to make scientific content understandable, but also to make it experiencable where people inform themselves, exchange ideas and entertain themselves. Success is therefore not determined by the format alone, but by the combination of reach, innovation and cooperation.
