The challenges faced by young people in our fast-moving, globalizing world are diverse and complex. Before we can begin to address them, we must first understand them. This requires sound knowledge from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including sociology, economics and psychology.
That is why the Foundation places a priority on identifying and supporting high-quality research, carried out by leading scholars. We work with top researchers with well-established track records. And we are not afraid to take risks. As a private foundation, we seek cutting-edge research into the factors which influence an adolescent’s personal and professional development.
