Nomis Foundation

NOMIS’ vision is to “create a spark” in the world of science by enabling and supporting pioneering research in the natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities that benefits humankind and our planet. Our mission is to support and enable insight-driven science across all disciplines, focusing on researchers who put forth bold new ideas, exhibit a pioneering spirit and seek to inspire the world around them. The NOMIS Foundation serves as a catalyst for scientific and human progress by supporting interdisciplinary research, establishing collaborative research networks and developing strategic partnerships. NOMIS endeavors to develop and strengthen the conditions conducive to the pursuit of high-risk basic research and to accelerate discovery and impact. RESEARCH is our passion Research is the vital expression of humankind’s most important qualities: curiosity and imagination. It is the basis for all knowledge and discovery. Supporting research is our first priority. PEOPLE are our inspiration Researchers, explorers, pioneers — dedicated women and men on the frontiers of science and the humanities. Their imagination and perseverance drive all progress, overcome all odds and build the future. INSIGHT is our reward Insight sometimes comes in a lightning flash or a moment of serendipity. More often, however, it is the fruit of a long quest and years of careful research. Insight advances our understanding of the world.
