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

Explorers, inventors, pioneers—dedicated researchers 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, when it comes, changes everything.

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.
