Pro Helvetia promotes professional, contemporary and future-oriented transdisciplinary work from Switzerland with a view to ensuring its diversity as well as its national and international reach. It supports the emergence of new transdisciplinary projects, the dissemination of Swiss artistic and cultural creation outside Switzerland as well as cultural exchange within Switzerland and worldwide. Transdisciplinarity is a cornerstone of innovation. Pro Helvetia defines transdisciplinarity as cooperation between persons from at least three disciplines (of which at least one must be outside the arts). At the same time, Pro Helvetia adopts various measures to promote greater diversity and equal opportunities in the cultural sector. As a national foundation, Pro Helvetia only supports projects of cross-regional or international significance and supplements the promotional activities of Switzerland’s cantons and cities.
