Organisation
The Foundation’s three organs are the Foundation Board, the Scientific Committee and the Administrative Office. The FSM is financed by industry (Swisscom, Sunrise and Orange) and supported by the ETH Zurich. One-off grants have been received from the City of Zurich, ewz and the Hasler Foundation. Our events are sponsored by ENKOM AG and the following federal offices: FOEN, FOPH and OFCOM. An external body, the Scientific Committee, decides on the research funding awards. Our financial backers are not members of the Scientific Committee nor are they informed about the Committee’s deliberations. This firewall guarantees the absolute independence of all funding decisions.

Foundation Board
In addition to scientists (four university representatives) there is a representative from each of the industrial sponsors, the federal authorities (FOEN, FOPH and OFCOM) and the NGOs (Konsumentenforum kf, Schweizer Heimatschutz, Krebsliga Schweiz, Ingenieure Hospital Schweiz, Verband Schweizerischer Elektrizitätsunternehmen).
The Foundation Board elects members of the Scientific Committee, determines the research funding and Administrative Office’s budget, deals with appeals from project applicants and decides on whether or not researchers should be excluded from project funding in the case of gross breaches of contract.
